    A HALF-BUILT Turkish residential development of hundreds of mini-castles won a reprieve from bankruptcy when creditors voted to allow a construction company to complete work on the project.

    The Burj al Babas project, set among hills about 200km east of Istanbul, was conceived as a luxury housing development with row upon row of identical cream-coloured homes, shaped like chateaus with grey turrets and all built around a shopping mall and hotel.
