A more realistic occupancy level for townhomes would be in the range of 2.4-2.6/unit.<br /><br />This trend of lower occupancy levels is most likely to continue into the future, given our aging demographic, low birth rates and number of childless couples.<br /><br />All put together, and given the unit configurations, the 600 units initially proposed by Bosa would likely generate far less than even the 1,800 new residents figure.<br /><br />Doug C.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932180642114865343noreply@blogger.com
