@QRM - I never knew that. It's amazing how misleading the figure is. So it includes external balconies, air-con ledges, and the 'uninhabitable' bomb shelter, the big internal below-window ledges you get in condo bedrooms here, AND walls... That'll explain why 1200ft here, = less than 800ft 'back home'.
p.s. A useful heads-up for new arrivals - expect xFt2 here, to be maybe 30% less actual habitable space, than it represents back home.
