Attached below is the Regional Housing Needs Assessment from May 2019.  It states the need for an affordable rental product in Park City and Summit County.  Highland Flats brings a product to market that fulfills the needs deemed most desperate: AMI under 30% 

One of the metrics of affordable housing is the AMI.  The Median income of Summit County as of 2019 is 76,860.  1/3rd of the units at Highland Flats will be affordable to those making 50% of the Median income.
