Downtown space in SLC is pretty easy to quantify. Yes, the situation is a little different because it is paying for someone to leave their lease...but c'mon, its not like the first time this has ever happened where an owner of a building asks those using it to leave their lease early.
Once again, as archaea said, if the typical termination fee for this type of contract is X amount and the church is not coming anywhere near that figure, why should Van Cott accept it? But on the flip side, if the church's offer is right on line to typical and fair, then Van Cott is greedy. Still not a bad thing...we just don't know which side is the hold up.
