Sir,
I am writing on behalf of the 347 people who have made downpayments, and in two cases outright purchases, in Sapphire, a tall condominium tower to be built in downtown Toronto and clad in appropriately sapphire blue coloured glass. Many are first time buyers in this investment property.
They are upset that the Condominium Naming Board has now seen fit to rename their building 'The Wotan', after a character in Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' - which will soon be performed in the nearbye Four Seasons Centre. They believe that Wotan, an evil god who sends his Valkyrie daughters to create havoc in the world, is not an appropriate name for the tower they have purchased units in, even though it may have appropriate cultural associations for the nearbye Entertainment District.
Furthermore, they believe it will adversely affect their chances of selling their units, should they wish to do so.
Several of my clients have said that if they knew this was going to happen they would never have purchased units in this building in the first place.
Furthermore, several of my clients have been told by Mr.Harold Stinson that he believes Mr.David Mirvish is "behind this thing" and that Mr.Mirvish is "in cohoots" with the Condominium Naming Board. Things are getting a bit out of hand.
Would you be so kind as to inform me of the appeal mechanism through which my clients can make their case to the Condominium Naming Board, and forward the appropriate forms so I can proceed on their behalf.
Also, please clarify whether the Board can retroactively rename buildings that have already been erected but not yet occupied.
Yours truly,
B.B.
