the probability of an Asian causing the firing is the greatest.

What happens to the people who have pre-bought units in that building? are they all SOL? because I doubt they bought home insurance yet?

They company building the units would have contractors insurance which will cover the damage done to the building.

i live on cambie and see that condo unit all the time.
it started like 3-4 years ago when the project sign went up. it said condos starting at 140k.
recession hits, the condo doesnt get developed. the lot sits there for like 2 years untouched.
mid-late last year, construction finally started.. wasnt the fastest but shit was finally getting done. the price on the sign increases to 190k
theres another planned condo unit right next door that had the project sign up around the same time. still no construction done to that one after 3 years.
something seems a bit fishy. the project obviously wasnt going too well
