Racing a clock somebody else set: management describes an outside deadline already driving the company's current work
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if the company is currently working against an externally-set deadline, with visible work organized around it, and the payoff is ahead of reported results. Let's examine the transcript for any mention of a fixed external deadline. The company discusses several projects: Torrey Plaza renovation, Oregon Square, Waikele shopping center (Kmart vacancy), Torrey Point development, Hassalo (multifamily), etc. Key points: - Torrey Point: completion date pushed to Q2 2017 due to rains. That's a project completion, but is it externally set? It's their own development schedule. Not external. - Oregon Square: active lease negotiations, build-to-suit for a tenant. They are finalists. No specific date mentioned. - Waikele: Kmart gone, repositioning. They have LOI with national grocer. No specific deadline. - Hassalo: leasing velocity, but no external deadline. The question asks about a dated deadline set by someone outside the company. The transcript does not mention any specific date like a customer's launch, regulatory deadline, or event. The only dates are internal projections (e.g., Q1 2017 FFO, completion dates). The company's own guidance and project timelines are internal. Thus, no external deadline is identified. The answer is NO.
