Yes, you're right. Developers have no isea ofthe market and are prepared to throw away €millions.

Maybe you should advise them oftheir big mistake.

What is it with people on here who keep on slating every development that is proposed in Malta? Foreiners aren't 'going' to other countries. There are many foreign buyers in many other EU countries but that also includes Malta. The reason overseas buyers invest in Malta is because it has a tiny land mass and there will always be a large demand for the limited number (on a relative scale) of quality properties. It's also why property can cost more in Malta, it's simply economics of supply/demand (again, quality properties which are only interesting to foreign buyers). Surethere are alot of poor quality properties that remain empty in Malta but you average foreign buyer wouldn't be interested in these in teh first place. There are two markets in Malta, the low quality market in the price band of many locals and the second that is made up of the quality properties that are the prime interest of foreign buyers and out of scope for locals. The latter will always remain very bouyant since the availability is always going to be restricted,

I see a lot of jealousy on these blogs when people see others buying things they themselves simply can't afford. These same people are really wasting their lives constantly worrying/slating what others do with their money.

Meanwahile, everyone else moves forward.

@C Cassar
I could not believe this paragraph came from the 'pen' of C Cassar, that ever present campaigner against all things pertaining to passenger cars. C Cassar who tells us that he has got rid of his car some years ago and never looked back, the C Cassar who tells us that we should be taxed a hefty sum for owning automotive engineering marvels and who is now also telling us that commenters voicing disapproval for further apartment building as "These same people are really wasting their lives constantly worrying/slating what others do with their money".

What cheek! Fill up the land with more apartments; let every one who can afford an extra property buy two and maybe three. Clear the land of motor cars C Cassar keeps harping, but please build enough properties to have enough around for everybody to own a couple of them.

Somewhere in C Cassar's way of thinking there must be some conflict of interest here me thinks or distorted environmental beliefs.

Albert Bezzina I am not the least surprised by him because he is a foreigner notwithstanding his Maltese surname.

For him everything foreign is good and everything Maltese including the people are bad and substandard.

I wonder why he hates Malta and the Maltese so much.
