It's competitive. The price is $879, for those who missed it deep in the article. There are many places where 45 days worth of rent at that price will get you worse environs than a train.
Per the article, it's $10 per foot² of space leased. So I am guessing that to lease the whole place it would therefore be 7500ft² * $10-per-ft²-per-year / 12 months-per-year = $6250/month .
Zillow estimates rent at that address as $6700/month, with the 2 bedroom condos in that building selling for over $2 million. Another listing at the same address was renting for $7950/month.
A quick Zillow perusal showing 2BRs going for around $3.5-4k per month would seem to suggest that plenty of people are willing to live there (not me though).
