I would contact an attorney ASAP! A lot of condo developers across the country have halted construction due to the crashing RE market. If you are willing to wait for the build, then that’s great for the developer, and you will hopefully eventually get a condo as agreed. Otherwise, take a look at your purchase and sale agreement/contract, search it thoroughly for requisite dates (erection date, closing date, etc., etc., ) and bring the agreement to your attorneys office and start the proceedings to get your deposit monies back. FYI, a downcline in the market and a decrease in profits for the developer is NOT “force majeure” (i.e. unforeseen acts of God), and your deposit monies SHOULD be returned if the developer has not held up its end of the agreeement (i.e. condo is not complete). Hope this info helps.

The latest from Title One on ManhattanWest deposits is that the lenders have now also agreed to give back the deposit money to buyers. Title One said it should be about two to three weeks at the most before letters are sent out and once returned, checks are sent out. Good news for everyone who bought there. Nice to see that Gemstone did the right thing when things did not work out.

Anyone with questions about their ManhattanWest condominium purchases should call the title company, Title One, at (702) 853-5850. From what I understand, the deposits are going to be released back to buyers but I don’t know the time line.

Title One is holding all of the deposits in escrow in the meantime, and will have the best information as to when you will be able to get your deposit back.

Have you tried calling Gemstone directly. I know the CEO is currently seeking new financing to complete the project.
