And I know in your presentation you stated that includes 968 residential units.
0:27:10
Do you have a breakdown on the units sizes?
Bruce Teitelbaum
0:27:13
Yes.
0:27:14
I can get you with with specificity of that, but right now, off the top of my head, the two and three bedroom were family size units.
0:27:22
The target there was 30% of the total number of units in the building.
0:27:26
The remainder will be one bedroom and studios.
0:27:28
I'll get you the exact breakdown at some point if you'd like.

And I just wanna stay consistent.
0:27:33
I'm not really a big fan of studios.
0:27:35
I will prefer one bedroom apartments.
0:27:37
I don't think they're conducive to families that are trying to raise their loved ones.
0:27:42
So just wanna stay consistent, Bruce.
Bruce Teitelbaum
0:27:44
I appreciate.
0:27:45
I just want to note that we did also increase the number of one reduced the number of studios, increased the number of one bedrooms, drastically increased the number of two and three bedrooms, we did that specifically in response to councilman Salam's concerns and the things we heard in the community.
