Langston Hall is indeed dead and all of the purchasers finally received their deposits back.
Purchasers had their money tied up here as far back as 2008. Unfortunately the Tarion compensation for the delay covers only $7,500 and there is nothing else they can do.
A representative from Rhed said that the property will be redesigned into high-end luxury rental apartments. Given their dismal track record, incompetence, lack of experience, it's unlikely that is going to happen and this is pure hot air just like the many empty claims they have made before. The property will most likely be sold off to another developer just like their Langston Hall 2 site on Peter Street.
There was never a letter from the developer about the cancellation nor any apologies or explanation. There are a lot of pissed off people due to this and I'm sure Fortress Capital is fuming as they have their funds tied up in three of their developments with nothing to show for.
For a development named after a human rights activist and being a development touted to be socially responsible, this is totally hypocritical and highly disappointing.
