Burj Al Babas
Burj Al Babas is a residential development located near the Turkish town of Mudurnu.[1] The homes in the development are designed to resemble miniature chateaux.[2] The center of the complex was to include a domed structure containing stores, a movie theater, and other facilities open to residents.
Construction began in 2014.[3] The development was originally successful, but sales eventually stalled, causing the developer to enter bankruptcy.[1] Falling oil prices and instability in Turkey have been cited as reasons for the lack of sales. As of January 2019, 587 of the planned 732 homes were complete.
