They aren't worried about risking moving down the line to add some profit. Its a fucking long one.
Is the same with big developers. They build one complex at a time when fully knowing they are going to build 10+ buildings in the area. To drive up demand. Also if the first one sells well, you can bet the second, third price will go up. If the first don't sell well they can always delay in building till price goes up.
