The project's 1,728 units were largely sold prior to the Great Recession. In 2007, more than 40 buyers filed suit against the property with allegations of misleading sales pitches and income that was lower than expected. MGM stated that the poor state of the economy was to blame for low rental rates, while buyers stated that the low rates had started before the economic downturn. By May 2009, the case had grown to nine lawsuits and more than 300 buyers. Meanwhile, unit prices had dropped 70 percent. Most of the unit sales at that time were resales or repossessions.
