Developers have turned a house into an island in China after the owner refused to move out. The villa now stands alone in a 30ft deep man-made pit in Chongqing city, reports Jinbao Daily. The Chongqing Zhengsheng Real Estate Company wants to turn the area into a £40m ‘Broadway’ square, including apartments and a shopping mall. But the owner of the villa says he won’t move out unless the company pays his price - the equivalent of £1.3 million.
“The villa owner refuses to move, so the real-estate developer has had to dig out all around it to force him to,” says a saleswoman at Weilian Real Estate Sales Company. “He wants 20 million yuan, or he’ll stay till the end of the world.”
well it is a great sight to see, it can also be one of a kind structure (a scenic spot in the middle of a supposed to be expensive shopping mall., but i wonder how the owner can park, can climb up and go down, well that’s his problem already. But it’s GREAT!!!!
