The weird thing about it is that area is zoned RM-M, meaning they could have built an apartment building. And indeed, they effectively manage it as an apartment complex, given they didn't subdivide the parcel and market them as rentals.

It would be a challenging parcel to build apartments on, given it is very shallow. The parking requirements in particular would be difficult to meet without structured parking. But they would have been able to pack in a lot more units, which would be much easier to rent out than those shitty townhomes.
