Opening of new Service Family Accommodation at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus

While on a visit to Cyprus, DIO's Chief Executive Mike Green joined Brigadier Andy Sturrock of UK Strategic Command and Air Vice Marshal Peter Squires, Commander British Forces, to open 34 new SFA at RAF Akrotiri.
The homes are the first to be completed under the Apollo programme, a major UK StratCom and DIO initiative which will heavily invest in Cyprus. Other projects already completed under Apollo include the new Queen Berengaria School at Dhekelia Station, with lots more to come.

Looks awful, especially when you compare to some of the houses that were built at Episkopi in the 60's-70's. Akrotiri had some old housing that certainly needed updating but is it too much to ask that new housing look nice?
Besides the fact that Cyprus doesn't have the infrastructure for electric vehicles, they have one of the lowest purchase rates in the EU
