They're out of space.
Obviously they're planning to expand, and have been doing so for years, and have been given FAA approval. They're not "out of space", they just have to tear some stuff down. If "out of space" means not having adjacent greenfields to develop, then the entire city is out of space for everything.

That often means investing time in educating clients rather than simply acceding to their desires."
