Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NOThe question asks whether management describes a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let me analyze the transcript. The company is Essex Property Trust, a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates apartment communities. The "customers" in this context would be renters/tenants, or possibly buyers of properties, or partners in development. Looking at the transcript, the discussion is about: - Apartment rental demand and supply - Occupancy rates - Rent growth - Property acquisitions and dispositions - Development The question is about whether existing customers (tenants) are asking for more than the company can supply. In the apartment context, this would mean demand for apartments exceeding supply. Let me look for evidence: - Mike Schall says "demand for rental housing continues to be strong" - "We are seeing strength in our Northern and Southern California portfolios" - "Overall, fundamentals for apartments remain favorable, and demand for rental housing continues to be strong" But is there a situation where proven, repeat counterparties (existing tenants) are asking for more than the company can supply? The company is a landlord. Its "customers" are renters. The company doesn't really have a situation where existing tenants are asking for more units than the company can provide. Actually, let me reconsider. The question is about counterparties the company has already served asking for more than the company can supply. In the REIT context, this could be: - Tenants wanting more space - Buyers of properties - Development partners Looking at the transcript more carefully, I don't see a clear description of existing customers asking for more than the company can supply. The discussion is about market conditions, rent growth, occupancy, supply of apartments, etc. The company discusses: - Occupancy at 96.5% - Rent growth - Supply of new apartments - Development yields compressing There's no clear narrative of "our satisfied customers are asking for more than we can deliver and we're building to serve them." The discussion about development is about the company's own development projects, not about responding to customer demand that exceeds capacity.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
