There is no exact answer to that question. It depends on location, land acquisition costs, local drivers for density.What’s the tallest an affordable building can be?
You probably get the most construction bang for your bucks with 5 over 1 construction (6 stories). But there are places like Chinatown where mixed use / mixed income buildings are now proposed at 30 stories. In the high rise configurations you tend to get mixed income with market rate in the upper floors as an economic engine to help pay for the affordable in the lower floors.
