I know this is a statistically problematic statement, but if it helps anyone out there, most of my career successes have happened only because of a previous career failure. My current boss has rejected me from three (three!) roles that I later grew into. Just to say: stick with it, you got this!
for this #OwlAwarenessDay let's all remember that one time @franzanth.bsky.social thought he heard an exciting new owl call only for it to turn out to be a bunch of old ladies doing yoga

I think that's for the 4br units which are already sold out. Here's a floor plan price list. Definitely luxury pricing. But I read somewhere that for every 100 new build luxury units that get rented out, 70 market rate units come on the market as luxury buyers are no longer bidding up the price.
Anyone with that cash is better off in a new home built here than out bidding someone else (and the cascading effect of filtering)
