Build new apartment, only build in nice area, spend 5% more in furnishings, add 10% more space to floor plan, call it luxury apartments. Increase rent by 100%.
See that's the thing. It's mostly the area. If you go to some very expensive city centers you'll find ridiculously expensive apartments which are falling apart and also tiny. It doesn't have much to do with the building, affordable apartments is not some specific type of apartment you can build, unless, idk, you intentionally sabotage them to make them gross. Any competently made new apartment building in a nice area is gonna have expensive apartments, it's a housing market issue. More apartments being built regardless of how affordable they individually are may slightly alleviate the issue, but that depends on many things.
