> $837,000

That's not what is happening. Per the article:

14% of the units build exceeded $700,000 each, and one project in pre-development is estimated to cost almost $837,000 per unit.

This is a meaningless nitpick. Spending "over $700,000" to house an individual is just as insane as spending "up to $837,000". Its embarrassing and ridiculous either way.

It's not meaningless. 86% cost less than 700K.
