Zestan flats

From time to time I comment on the affairs of one of our local developers, Zestan by name. People who think themselves a cut above your average speculative builder.

Here we have a small block of flats (Chase Road Apartments) they are putting up next to the railway line in Hook Road, opposite their previous development noticed at reference 1, visible here on the right. They do not look as fancy as those at references 2 and 3 (Oak View, phases 1 and 2), so perhaps this is fulfilling their affordable quota.

PS: I happened to read in the NYRB yesterday that affordable housing is as much a problem in parts of California - the example was Berkeley, across the bay from San Fransisco - as it is here. So being awash with both money and space does not necessarily solve the problem.
