Thanks for the updates Tbite. Overall this looks like a good development, but what's up with this?

It's as if the carpark is the central feature of the complex.

It does make it look a bit industrial.

^^
I agree with Gulivar

Yeah i don't really like this project, nothing special :runaway:

I like it
relatively cheap and simple and space efficient, so imo down-to-earth. This is part of cairo, while the rubbish being built on the east side is a rich man's (and foreigner's) playground, which is the last thing the city's space should be used for. To house the people, build 3-4 storeys, plenty of car parking, not too expensive. Thats what egyptians need realistically.

I disagree with providing plenty of carparking. It is a huge waste of space in any city. With space being so valuable in Egypt, it seems a huge waste throwing it away on carparks.
