Under-construction Pyongyang tower block seen fitted with model apartment

Development could speak to shifts in the DPRK's real estate market, experts say

A residential block under construction in the North Korean capital has recently been spotted featuring what appears to be a model apartment, a move observers said may speak to changing trends in the country's real estate market.

The property, located in downtown Pyongyang, appears to be fitted with a showroom-style apartment on its sixth floor, potentially allowing prospective flat-hunters the chance to view their properties before they are completed.
