I think your assumption is correct....let the place go so that owners walk away and then he can have the entire place to himself. On various visits, I have spoken to some condo owners who got letters from Ofer giving a price to purchase their units. The same Chicago owner I mentioned previously responded in a few choice words.


On my November visit, I was told Ofer's hotel manager (I forgot her name) was let go and he brought in the Caribbean sunset staff. I didn't see her so I assumed that info was correct. They still use Strata staff for security from 3pm to 11pm but then it's a hired security company for the night shift.
