Another way to look at it is, the Nimby's successfully removed 15 +/- residential units from a project in a region that is desperate for more housing supply and probably made the cost per unit slightly higher. I wish the "local" paper would start running stories showcasing the negative effect these "community" organized anti-development groups have on projects.
Can't decide if I like the concept. Seems like they have a lot going on and no doubt the change in floor plate from one floor to the next will be value engineered.
Is the bold section true? I was always under the impression that high rise developments had a higher cost per sqft, so is there a point where the increased height flips and start becoming cheaper again? Or is it cheaper up to a certain height, where the engineering challenges start to increase cost?
