UpNorth - Highly, highly unlikely. Even after build out there is still tremendous business potential. After all you are talking about a town with 100,000 people. The developer will still own almost all the internal retail space with their associated leases. There will also be great potential in rental income and management. Plus much, much more. Perhaps they may move on to other opportunities but someone will want take over with all that money out there to be made.

You say it has happened before but maybe you are referring to retirement communities who get the people to buy the homes prior to the infrastructure (pools, centers etc.) being built and then abandon the homeowners. TV is just the opposite. They build the complete infrastructure and then build and sell the homes. I don't see TV's fate as bleak.
