The last launch in the estate was less than a year ago in August 2020 for Dakota One. It was also when we saw one of the highest application rates in recent years, as <\/span>4-room flats were oversubscribed by 19.1 times<\/span><\/a>. So we can expect this project to be really popular as well. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
