Sizing replacement boiler

Member Posts: 37
According to the Maharishi Master Yoda Dan, "the desire to oversize a boiler is stronger than the desire for sex." I'm looking at a replacement project where the last installer really got his rocks off.
18 apts. 9 @ 1 bedroom 9 @ 2 bedroom Nothing special about building
Existing boiler size: 28-5 3646 sq ft steam
Twin building next door 19-7 2888 sq ft steam
Actual measured radiation of building 1250 sq ft steam
I know what I'm going to do. What would you size?
