I read with concern about the volume of new high-rise buildings that Limassol is preparing to erect, 60 your paper states.
We live part time in Limassol and part time in the UK, we have been coming to Cyprus for over thirty years, and in that time watched Cyprus develop and upgrade the roads and pavements mostly for the good.
However, the latest development i.e high buildings has left us disgusted with the Limassol building regulators.
How can a building be constructed blocking out the view we and many more have had for over 25 years without compensation?
It’s bad enough that they are building low rise, yet these ugly tower blocks do nothing for Limassol other than line the pockets of
greedy builders, properly backed with dirty Russian money, so many say this.
Limassol will become a town of empty apartment blocks. This can been seen already around the Yermasoyia area a number of blocks as still empty having been completed last year?
We for one, are looking to sell and get away from the dirt dust and noise that persists from 6.45am until sometimes) 7pm
on a Saturday, six days a week.
Limassol is becoming a concrete jungle with all the problems that this will bring with it.

July 1, 2018 at 11:56Everyone accepts that you have to move with the times, but there really is no need for high rise buildings of this sort on Cyprus.
They are not designed for living in, they are not designed to meet any sort of social requirements or needs, they are being built without due consideration for the environment and other residents for one reason and one reason only- to make a select band of people as much money as possible from the state of state property ie a passport

July 1, 2018 at 09:05The are interested only in short term personal gain and it will ever be so. They have already ruined Limassol waterfront, now are wrecking Germasogeia village itself (thank the gods I moved out last year). So very sad to see such a lovely island under concrete multi-storey pillboxes, being ‘uglified’ and covered in rubbish.
