Keep in mind that some high ceiling mill buildings can be a complete utility money pit, too. I haven't been in one but I've heard heating horror stories so add in even more expenses.

It seems that all the mill/new builds just seem to align on the same price. I had a friend who was looking and every studio was the same rate, so she just picked the building she liked. Expect to get a hike on renewal too, so if you're at the top of the budget, I'd reconsider.
