    I assume he got in under the old price structure so he shouldn't have any problem selling.

    Who can blame him. What I'm referring to has nothing to do with an "extended court case". It was simply both parties adhering to the letter of the contract at delivery. Owners who pay their own lawyer may be having a different delivery experience.

    Some owners probably skip attorney representation. And, try to deal with CL themselves or worse with CL's lawyers representing them.

    There have definitely been problems with poor builders. But, from the info I've received from an attorney representing owners, is he has enforced the delivery delay penalty in its entirety - at $50 a day.

    Privately funded projects on the North Coast

    As far as I've been told the disappointment at CL Connections has been around how long the project has taken to finish. Villa owners who came in under the old build prices seem to feel they have a good investment. 10 minute walk from Encuentro Beach for less than the current price of Casa Linda...

    Several of those villas have closed so this one is worth what a buyer will pay for it. Which remains to be seen. Encuentro is newly considered "highly desirable" in real estate jargon. We'll see. Driving by the Surf Village entrance, the villa construction there is moving along.

    Who is going to rent all these apartments in Las Terrenas?

    Don't know about Canada & Europe, but if the US opts out of democracy in the next election, those LT condos will be full.

    Yes. I understand that for same price as a Casa Linda villa in the phases, away from the water, they are a 10 minute walk to Encuentro Beach plus all of the amenities, including a restaurant & gym. It's no wonder they sold out so soon.
