About 300 to 400 pre-sale buyers of Pearl Horizon flats will stop paying their mortgages to local banks, the Pearl Horizon Condominium Owners United Association announced yesterday in a press conference at the group’s office.
The Pearl Horizon residential project has been mothballed since the government decided late last year to axe the ill-fated project’s temporary land concession that had expired. The government has repeatedly said that the issue must be solved in strict adherence with the Land Law. The developer, Hong Kong-based Polytec, is suing the government over the matter.
A total of 3,020 Pearl Horizon flats have been pre-sold, according to the government.
