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?

 I believe that the cost per floor is less the taller the building. It starts to go up per floor after the 41st floor. I remember reading about it in a textbook in school or on another forum. Quick google search has a blog post to back it up. Not sure how reliable the source is. https://buildingtheskyline.org/skyscraper-height-iv/

I mean, you're looking at averages, across many contexts and regulatory environments.

For any given building, the function will be vastly more complex. We cannot know, without hiring an expensive architect, the exact differences.

But one thing is VERY clear, and that is the increase in parking. This absolutely is a significant increase in cost for the units.
