- The ultra modern building
designs are not to everyone's
taste
- The emphasis on security
may lessen the community
spirit.
- As the project is still going on it is
hard to evaluate the success of it and
what it's criticisms are.
- When the new residents
move in it will put the area
to test. Also the addition will
be testing to manage.
