Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar yesterday asked whether the authorities had considered the effect the project to build four towers in Mrieħel would have on the rest of the commercial property market.

It said Mepa officials had confirmed that with the demand for commercial premises there would be a glut of properties once recent and planned projects were completed.

“The Paola A4 Towers and Sky Parks have not yet filled. Smart City, and Metropolis have stalled, while Pendergardens Towers, the Exchange Business towers, the Farsons Business Park, Townsquare and Xemxija Towers projects are at various stages of development.

“Is it realistic to expect that all these projects will be filled, or will we waste more precious land on projects destined to remain semi-vacant and like many of the showrooms built in the past?” the NGO said.
