Hi,
A total of 168 units is planned, and the number of family units (2 and 3-bedroom townhouses) will equal the number of one-bedroom units.
If the number of one-bedroom units will be 3 times the number of three-bedroom units
one-bedroom units: units or 84 Units
two-bedroom townhouses units or 56 Units
three-bedroom townhouses units or 28 Units
6x = 168, x = 28
