Sunset Mall? Apparently that is empty as it contravenes planning rules. There are not enough parking spaces so the owners are not allowed to rent out the units. I undestand that behind it are occupied flats and the developer used the residents parking as part of the number when building, but this has been excluded by the municipality or whoever signs these things off.

Ethos83 is an unknown quantity at this point

The Almaya's at Dream Tower, right?

That parking lot is criminal. Nearly impossible to get in, nearly impossible to get out.

I know, and as pedestrians, you have to take your life into your own hands, what with the blind corners, having to go up the vehicle ramp and then dodge the frustrated drivers reversing out of the carpark 'cos they can't park and can't turn (and can't drive).

So rubbish... the Landscape Architect should be shot...
