Hi blakeybeagle,



The news I have of them is not good. I do believe they have folded their tent and gone home. Only what I'm told by someone who worked for them.

They have recommenced work on their development behind the Altinkaya Hotel, stone walls gone up in the last 2 weeks & transformer building completed, trenches dug for electricity cable.

Presume nothing happened at the apartments near HSBC I have not been to check for a couple of weeks?

Hi

OFTONS 'new' office on the mainroad, not to far from Doğanköy roundabout disappeared some 6 months ago. Did you try to contact D. Atakara?

The smart Ofton road front office relocated to a few rooms at the back of the same building, I will go & see if they are still there

Smithy if you go left down the next road along to HSBC as you are going towards the town, the Ofton site is at the bottom overlooking the sea

GREAT NEWS Ofton have a workforce on site after all this time!! The block that we have an interest in has had the floors tiled, bathroom tiled & the stairs up to the 2nd floor. Some of the blocks have had a first lick of paint

I went into the Ofton office to enquire about choice of cupboard colours the guy did not speak much English but forecast a completion date of 3-4 months obviously this would take some going but at least they are working again

Sorry Vaughan talking b********s as normal!

I have just been to their site in the next road to HSBC couldn't see any work men on site, looks like a total standstill, sent some pictures to a forum member
