A shady 14.3M deal? Mandarin condo buyer sues over sun block [Boston]
Real estate mogul Pritam Singh agreed to spend $14.3 million, with dreams of basking in a sun-splashed penthouse atop the ultra- luxurious Mandarin Oriental Boston.
But Singh contends his hopes were dashed when he discovered the Mandarin Oriental penthouse he had put under contract in the Back Bay was far from a sun-worshippers’ delight. Instead he claims it will be cast into a “nearly constant state of darkness” by the Prudential and other nearby towers.
Singh, a rags-to-riches Florida developer with Boston roots, sued the project’s developers in federal court in a bid to recover his $3.4 million deposit, plus damages.
