    Not sure how welcome this will be on here, a slight change to the usual stuff, it just blew me away, and whilst $50 million is not cheap, compared to the competition (up to $150 million) and compared to some of the £30 million flats up London, this has value for money written all over it.

    Sit back and dream for a few minutes:

    That’s a first for me, (what appears to be) a thatched roof on a brand new block of flats

    I have no idea who wants to live in a desert, anyway, but far more importantly it's a family size home filled with danger for children! It's not just frightful, but actually frightening.

    The OP says to dream on, but frankly it's a total nightmare.

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Apparently, it was the Tudor Close pub, built with a thatched roof in the hope that that would sell more beer, perhaps?

    Anyway, that didn't work, and it's been chopped up into flats.
