Every single property put on the market by Midi plc to date has been sold, the development consortium announced yesterday.

“The majority of purchasers this year have been overseas buyers, though a number of apartments have been purchased by locals.

“Estate agents have also been successful on this project and have been responsible for half of the sales in the latest phase,” said Midi’s CEO Luke Coppini.

A new block is under construction on the seaward side of the square. “This is the next phase which will be released for sale shortly,” he said.

“It is situated directly on the waterfront and commands stunning views over the mouth of Marsamxett Creek and the open sea.”
