How exactly do you “return” 2 buildings? I guess the lease signing articles were mostly BS if you can break the lease so easily

I am sure they have massive lease-breaking fees associated with it. Those fees are huge, just not as huge as the cost of keeping the building full term. Translation, Meta is in trouble for the near and medium term.

and if the floors were already fully built out but with no one working from them, the landlord could much easier find a new tenant that wants a fully built out work space. would save the new company alot of money in buildout costs.

Yeah, I would think that would depend. You might be able to find someone with lesser money to rent it for considerably less, but I doubt you would be able to fill it with somebody at a similar level to Meta and at a similar price.

Must be nice to have billions of dollars to waste......

I've helped moved smaller companies into the bones of bigger ones for the last decade or so. Subleasing pre-built space is an entire subindustry on it's own.

It’s more likely that they’ll sublease more space. Apparently, they are already subleasing some space.
