¶ 15. The majority’s summary of the material facts and its statement of the relevant legal standard are entirely adequate. I take issue only with its analysis of the lease, which I view as a more unified statement of the relationship between landlord and tenants than does the majority. As the majority points out, Joerg contemplates an analysis of the parties’ reasonable expectations, and this analysis must include an examination of the lease as a whole. See ante, ¶ 5 (stating that “the approach we adopted in Joerg requires an examination of the lease agreement”). The lease is instructive of more than the meaning of the clauses highlighted by the parties and examined by the majority, especially given the lease’s reference to tenants’ part ownership of the Northgate development, which the majority does not consider.
