Martin's condo project, Mar 13

March 1, 2013:
Ashley Tiernan, salesman and a very clever one at that turned out to selling never to be build condos. It was Master's Residence we looked at. A studio, but the pool was too short for some serious swimming. there is a nice video of the condo on YouTube. Or what it will look like in January 2015.

the investor is this man, Bojan Prorok, 34 years old from the Balkans, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, now a Canadian citizen. He is the one signing the purchase contracts.
