Mr. Sean Alger:

A number of factors go into this construction cost. For example, if the developer is also the builder, they do not have a construction margin built in for a contractor, whereas if a developer is using a third-party contractor, there is a contractor margin built in as well. So, the construction costs vary. It is not just by region. It is actually by developer as well.
