Hm thats quite a ways out for a pedestrian, and is more so for commuters.

Also unlike the other concepts, there is no Google Maps entry and no reviews, know any forum where people talk about this?

Like for the workers I wonder what personalities it is better for than the brothels or sauna clubs. Maybe they get to keep the whole commission? Or maybe they aren't good enough for the brothels or don't want to work a full shift?

What do you think?

Certainly looks like it's mostly FAR out of the way of where anyone would live. It's between the railway and the highway, between an insurer's head office and a factory, in between an area with some company depots.

They're trying to make the area south of the station a very expensive area, which is where the prostitution appears to be now (and hence the rents are "cheap" there).

So yes, I would say this is probably an attempt to move this activity out of where it is now, into an area where it definitely can't survive. I don't know, but I can't see this actually working. Why would these people move ? They sure as hell can't look for customers around that area.
