Nice to see the pace picked up.
This may set a record for longest "under-construction" phase.
It's shocking how slow this one has been. I wonder what the hold-up has been an if Lifetime is going to make any money on this... don't purchasers have the option to cancel their contracts if the developer takes to long on construction?
