Just want to highlight here that we're creating over 60% of our units as two bedrooms and three bedrooms as we recognize that family size units are very important to this community.

And then for the affordability range, we're providing our space units set aside at 15%, and then we have a range of affordability from 30% AMI to 80% AMI.
