The companies that build these high-rises don’t consider the cost of living in cities such as Ann Arbor. They goal is to cater not to the entire population but a subset of the population, which in this case is students that come from upper middle to upper class backgrounds. There is no shortage of students from such backgrounds: according to a student survey done at orientation, about 1/4 of students have parents that earn more than 250k a year. 1/3 earn have parents that earn more than 200k. While there may be error as students themselves give the response, there is no doubt that the University of Michigan has a pretty large number of wealthy students, especially with its high out of state tuition. So, many students from wealthy backgrounds would not care to spend a few thousand more on housing that is of much higher quality than the dorms and actually turns out to only be a bit more expensive as you can cook (at $13 per meal, the meal plan is actually a rip-off)
