- Construction waste and recycling industry challenges (shrinking market for low-quality recyclables, reduced ability of waste haulers to divert materials from landfill)
- Lower airtightness performance in Rear Lane Townhomes due to new communities, teams, and materials
- Increased water use across properties in 2023 due to changed water use behavior during the pandemic and less summer rainfall
