It's also less than 1/3 of the Spire's units and probably 50% of its sales value.

Imagine you're a young professional looking for a one bedroom. Your choices are a 30th floor, 1100 square foot unit in the Spire for $1.2 million or a 70th floor, 1100 square foot unit in the Waldorf=Astoria for $900,000.

Most people don't know who Calatrava is, and these are both luxury developments. Don't think for a second that they're not competing for the same buyer.
