I know they've cancelled units before due to change in the building plan and returned money for the units impacted. But I haven't seen anywhere that they've cancelled a project before.

One star rating is too generous for this builder!
After years of construction delays Vandyk terminated the purchase agreement ruining my plans moving to Cobourg. Vandyk made no real effort to meet closing dates only made excuses for the delays. I even had hard time getting back my down payment and compensation. Never again would I deal with an unreliable unprofessional builder like Vandyk!
How YOU doin'?

Guess we only have to wait and see. I don't think they will do any construction this fall or winter... let's see how next spring and summer goes. Can't do much now.. seems like Vandyk is used to bad publicity and doesn't really care for it.

I'm trying to stay positive and this they will finish the construction... just with some delays but with everything going on I think they might cancel the project after selling all the units by their main office site. I mean why would they wrap up equipment when they are in the middle of construction? They do have the permit as an excuse and say with the cost gone up for labour and the prices the homes were sold we can't afford it and the delay was caused by the permit issue.

Yes they have

No, that's just when it will be up for renewal again with Tarion. A notice will be sent to the builder to renew just prior to that date.

Permit is not an issue to finish foundations and parking garage. The city is not delaying them, Vandyk has not paid their consultants doing the drawings for submissions and follow-ups.

I don’t think they are going to complete this project. They are just delaying the cancellation. I already prepared my mind.

What’s the benefit of delaying cancellation? Holding on to cash to use for future projects?

All the optics point to cancellation of the project. All this strange behaviour, delays, and lack of communication only makes sense if it’s being cancelled. It makes no sense otherwise.

I pray they don't cancel...
Just thinking out loud, announcing a cancelation right now could impact the sales of the Heartlake collection and they don't want that negative PR.

That too. Cash is released from trust at different stages of the project I think. So they would have taken some cash and don't have the money right now.

Negative PR lol, Vandyk has already tarnished their reputation as a builder that provides quality in a timely manner. A quick google search should sway any potential buyers from working with them. It’s unfortunate, hopefully they don’t cancel though.
