I have heard many, many, many complaints about the specifications (or lack there of) of the towns at Lansdowne.

But look at what Minto did at Beechwood, they were targeting Baby Boomers, delivered a spec that Baby Boomers liked/wanted, cut the amenities Baby Boomers didn't want and they sold very well thus far.
What are the amenities Baby Boomers don't want?

I thought that the Lansdowne towers also had laminate as standard?
I think Minto's calculation is not that the buyers would be happy with laminate floors but they are counting on healthy upgrade revenue.
