calais jungle already turned into luxury apartments 01-11-16 the refugee camp in calais has already become luxury apartments that only footballers and bankers can afford. the site, which housed some 2,000 refugees until last week, now contains 16 apartments that will never be used as the occupants already own at least four other properties each. developer julian cook said: <u+201c>we<u+2019>re hoping to get some really rich people moved in here as soon as possible. <u+201c> we won<u+2019>t be calling it the calais jungle any more either, because that might put some buyers off. it<u+2019>ll be called sunnyside towers or the east village or something stupidly nice instead. <u+201c>although there will be a club and cocktail bar in the basement called <u+2018>jungle nites<u+2019>, because when you build these places you have to respect local history.<u+201d> <u+201c>i t will have a massive wall built around it to make sure only rich people can get in.<u+201d> he added: <u+201c> there will still be immigrants here, obviously. after all, the toilets won<u+2019>t clean themselves.<u+201d>
