What was the most challenging space you've had to lease in the past? What made it a challenge?

"The most challenging space I've had to lease was an apartment building next to a freeway. As soon as potential tenants would arrive to look at the space, they would be turned off by the noise and proximity of the freeway. The building was only about 20 years old and the units were nice with updated appliances. Ultimately, I decided that more amenities were needed in order to attract residents. I developed a plan to build out a small gym on the bottom floor, in an effort to add value to the building. The owners approved the plan and the gym was renovated. We chose not to raise the rent prices and market specifically to residents who would utilize this feature. It was a long road, but the gym renovation did eventually help us lease more apartments in the building."
