587 Castles: Copy-paste development gone wrong

When I played strategy games like SimCity as a kid in the 1990s, I sometimes filled a field with identical buildings as fast as I could click my mouse button. I wonder if something like this happened to Burj Al Babas, a development in Turkey consisting of 587 identical castles. The whole projects was a massive failure and all the castles are empty.

Thanks to Malmesbury on Telescopic Turnip for the pointer.
