Jakarta - Banyak proyek pembangunan perumahan yang awalnya ambisius justru terbengkalai. Salah satunya dialami Burj Al Babas yang mulanya ingin seperti negeri dongeng.

MUDURNU, TURKEY - MAY 21: Hundreds of castle-like villas and houses are seen unfinished at the Burj Al Babas housing development on May 21, 2019 in Mudurnu, Turkey. Construction on the luxury housing project began in 2014 and aimed to build 732 villas, a shopping mall and entertainment facilities targeted at foreign buyers. However the future of the villas is now uncertain after the developers, Sarot Property Group filed for bankruptcy after buyers and investors pulled out of the 150million euro project. The economic downturn and weakening Turkish lira have left many companies unable to pay large foreign currency debts borrowed to finance projects, resulting in many companies filing for bankruptcy and leaving projects unfinished.

Burj Al Babas terletak di Mudurnu, sebuah daerah di bagian barat laut Turki. Daerah ini juga terletak di antara Istanbul dan Ankara.

Sayangnya proyek besar ini terbengkalai karena kesulitan keuangan. Pemicunya adalah resesi yang melanda Turki pada tahun 2018. Kala itu, mata uang lira kehilangan 38 persen nilainya terhadap dolar.
