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.

Right. That is definitely $10-15K in incremental costs per unit for the 0.3 additional spaces. Plus, the cost of land and the cost of common areas goes up about 20% per unit. I would expect a per-unit cost increase of $30-50K, which will translate to a somewhat larger increase for the selling prices.
