I'm the other guy that got screwed by Streetside at the Blue Sky. I am super passed off as anybody would be after finding out that the home that they're supposed to get is no longer getting built. No, I don't want them to build a condo with problems, but I sure as heck expect them to do more than give me my money back and say "Oops, good luck with your search. Sorry you lost 6 month appreciation in a hot real-estate market. Sorry, to get you hopes up about your first home. Sorry, you spent all that time looking at places; do it again. By the way, you'll never find the same bargain again, but good luck". Any reputable company would do something to keep customers. They haven't offered shinguard.
The phase 6 is selling for about $40000 more than phase 5 for the same units! They probably have an escape clause, but for the company to use that escape clause and not offer any kind of compensation goes to show you how much they value their customers. Yeah, they could sell the phase 6 condos for $40000 more, but they will lose several potential customers for multiple times more revenue. Do they really think the irked customers are just going to take this on the chin without striking back?
I hope Streetside comes back with something. I really do.
