I have heard various things about the property, to it was supposed to provide shopping for prosperous locals, to it was a tax write off for the owners, to it was somewhere to launder money. I have no idea what the truth is of any of that. Personally, I don't 'get' the concept at all and we have driven past there probably a hundred times and never once had the slightest desire to go in. The pictures that I've seen of some of the apartments there look lovely, IF you like that 'modern' look, which I don't, but that is my personal hang-up. In general, I don't 'get' the whole high rise in the Caribbean either, but many people love it.
