That's unfortunately on GG and not on the market (or The City) here. And they should have least thought of that VE'ing units like that will likely have negative consequences in their publicity of offerings in good faith. /sigh
I suspect their strategy is to build this tower to rave reviews that there will be enough interests generated market wise to build the second one. And the rate this is going, they may very well pull that off.
I think I should be saying they went into receivership with this project for clarity here. But either way, the ball is in their court...no pun intended.
