It comes down to what the economy will bear....meaning the amt of demand for new apts & condos in dt.

the most recent example of a high rise....& a rather expensive one for residential use....being completed & open for business in dt was the Apex...formerly concerto. The owner started leasing a bit less than a yr ago. I bet if they had fully booked up almost overnight....instead of today still sitting with about 20% of their apts unleased....other devlprs would have noticed....& swooned....& gotten excited by what they could do in their part of dt.

btw, I still see ads...here at ssp.com....for totally new condos in the Evo condo bldg....& how long ago was it when that bldg was completed & open for sales?
