Looking for insight into construction costs
I'm working through the numbers on a potential development project that I am trying to put together. It will be my first ground up new construction in the multi family space. So, I am looking for feedback and insights into construction costs. Podium style with ground level parking and 4 floors of units.
What would you say the average cost per unit used in budgeting is? 32 units, 2bd/2bath approx 1,400sf
Edit: I've realized a bit more context is probably in order to get the most relevant replies! I have the parcel and know that cost. Really looking for general development budgeting insights for a medium scale ground up project. Location is the Northeast.
Thanks in advance for the insights and conversation!

No good way to answer this because it's going to be region-specific. Material & labor costs, regulatory & permit costs, lot costs, land prep costs, utility costs, etc.
@Jay Hinrichs builds in some different places. If you get more specific he might be able to give you a better picture. I put a 200 SF addition on my house last spring and it cost me a little over $100/sf, and I did some of the work myself and used contractors that I have relationships with from my rental properties. I'm in TN.
