A whole new neighborhood is about to be born. Before long, there will be families, children, pets, a few weirdoes, security guards, maids, car washers, loafers and maybe some nice people moving in. They’ve worked on this site a few months now and it looks almost complete. The outside wall was being painted this morning.
The colour looks better in real life. The finishing is to a high quality considering they’re obviously been built for the rent market. The thing that worries me (apart from the weirdos) is the number of cars this will be coming to this quiet area. I first thought this long row was going to be houses. I went inside today and most, if not all, are flats! With an average two cars per flat, the road will probably only be open part-time. The rest of the time it will be reserved parking

can well imagine, suddenly the place thronging with people and cars…will have to look out for a newer route i guess.
The work though, seems to be going on laboriously…at times it seems to be almost over, and then it halts for a while. but then just a matter of few days…before the entire scene and landscape changes i guess. in for some interesting activities ..:>)

It has never halted. The times when it looked quiet, they were working inside. This was impressive in all the stages…
I hope all the changes are positive.

i’m really worried about the amount of cars this will bring..
and the holes in the “street” of the right turn just before the buildings will go deeper!!

You’re right Hussain. Even after the roads will come, this will be one of the busiest neighbourhoods.
