Alright, just some nits that I want to pick at...
He is also, the person who is ultimately in charge of hiring the building managers.
In other words, he's your boss.
Your job is to make sure the complex you're in charge of runs on an even keel, that appropriate maintenance, repairs, and upgrades are performed, and that your Special Guests don't run a muck and cause a bunch of collateral damage... or at least, if they do, that it's manageable.
Also, I loved the idea of a complex that had been torn down before was suddenly there again. It keeps with the idea behind the Metacontinuity, that this isn't quite the Earth we know. There will be tiny and subtle differences, and they'll grow to be greater and greater ones over time.
Other than that, love what you got there so far. (^_^)V

He purchases the buildings, bankrolls the project, and generally ensures that all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed in regards to regulation and such. He ensures the buildings have their inspection certificates, that any pertinent permits are gotten, and all that nice jazz.
Yesterday, Rob had a cheque in his hand - enough money to buy the building outright, pay the utility bills and property taxes for a year, and buy new appliances for the apartments. He had proof that the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation did not work that way or that quickly... but there it was.
Now, he didn't have the cheque but he did have the deed to the apartment building, and the appliances were being delivered the day after they had been ordered. He was sure that city hall and large-appliance stores did not work that quickly... but there it was, and there they were.
The deed was in the name of a numbered corporation that didn't exist two days before. Simply visiting a lawyer should not have been sufficient to make that happen, and definitely not that fast... but there it was.
