Nice edifices, sadly displaying shortcomings (12)

I believe the answer is:

deficiencies

'shortcomings' is the definition.

'nice edifices sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nice'+'edifices'='niceedifices'
'niceedifices' with letters rearranged gives 'DEFICIENCIES'.

'displaying' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
