Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need identify if management describes existing capability used for second larger purpose, already converting with little in results. Transcript: Hudson Pacific Properties own office/studio properties. They discuss "convergence of tech and media in Los Angeles" and owning Sunset Gower/Bronson studios with significant additional FAR. They offer first class studio production and office space from one landlord. Netflix pre-leased ICON office tower (100% pre-leased). Also demand for office and studio space at Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson at all-time high. Studio demand from traditional/cable networks compete with streaming networks for finite number of stages and production offices. They signed deals with Fox, HBO, Amazon.

Need see if "something company already owns and operates for existing business has turned out useful for second much larger purpose". Existing capability: owning and operating studio properties with FAR for development. Second use: providing office space to tech/media tenants? But this is their core business as real estate company. Not exactly. Question likely from transcript: They mention "At 1455 Market Street in San Francisco we executed lease with Vevo... backfilling Rocketfuel space... Uber expansion." Not. Another possible: "We broke ground on parking structure and started building renovations at four contractions... Arts District" no. Look for a situation where existing asset/capability used for second larger purpose, already converting. Could be "Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson" studios: Existing capability studio production, second use is office space for tech/media? But they already operate office too, and new ICON tower is new build (not existing). Need answer NO unless strong. Maybe "we own and operate studios...
