For me, the most interesting part of the article was this:

"Her apartment block was on Anexartisias Street, a bustling shopping area, however, Kively was the only person living inside the four-storey building – all the other apartments were empty."

Is this the result of population decline, or of investors buying and just holding without renting out?

Seems odd that an entire residential building has only one tenant. Wikipedia[1] states: "The Limassol municipality is the most populated in Cyprus". So there should be demand.

Investors? In 1988? In Cyprus?


Hah! The article reads "Published 16 January 2024" in large font right under the title. Then below it says 1988. I guess my eyes skipped over that part.

This makes it even more strange, as in 1988 there were no investors buying empty apartments, and probably more young families needing accommodation.


Maybe they saw it coming ...
