INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- We seem to be an industry that’s widely recognized and one of the first to be the canary in the mineshaft as far as feeling the effects of a recession, and then one of the last industries to come out of a recession because it’s all about consumer confidence and a strong economy.
- “Our footprint is very European in the sense of the surroundings, the colours, the framework, the showers, a lot of natural light aspects, a lot of earthtones in a quite high-end product.
- “We’re expecting to enter the market in a higher-end fashion with, we believe, one of the best products that the city of Calgary has seen in a number of years.
