Especially the new version of 415 Colorado.

We do not have corporate headquarters in Austin to speak of. This is our issue.
Premium build quality, engineering and often less efficient use of vertical space cost money which means the price per square foot needs to go up to offset those costs.
You can't just tell a developer "spend your money on a nicer looking shorter building" when it costs them profit. A box is the most efficient use of money and space which is why thats what mostly gets built.
Also, our real estate market is expensive - we need to bring volume of residences on board as quickly as we can.
