DR Jane, thanks for the vibes. I've run the numbers and although I haven't heard exactly what she's going to come in with for a final rent price, it's very clear to me we're already in the same ball park and in a range I can live with. She's already planning on me moving in way before my current lease expires. So although technicaly not a done deal, it really is.
She made it clear she doesn't want me to leave the building and and even said that me moving in there is very good for the whole building (renting a larger space will help their square foot vacancy rate go down and increase the perception that they are a good building to be in- she didnt' say that, but that's what she meant - and she has someone in mind for my current space)
I told her to remember all that when coming up with my rent amount
