        "text": "A shell space is an undeveloped commercial unit, typically with only exterior walls, a roof, and a concrete slab floor, requiring extensive build-out of all interior systems. A second-generation space, conversely, is a previously occupied unit that may have existing walls, flooring, plumbing, and electrical systems. While a shell offers a blank canvas, a second-generation space might involve demolition of existing elements before new construction can begin. The choice impacts the scope, cost, and timeline of tenant improvements.",
