Article before 'remaining leasing'
Hi,
According to a native English speaker, there is no requirement of ‘the’ before ‘remaining leasing’ in the following sentence. I feel that ‘the’ is required here. What do you think?
“The only near term risk to remaining leasing in 2009 is a 50,000 sf non-renewal at 505 Swath Drive that kicks in on Novemeber 1.”
Thanks,
MG.
