To me, it seems more likely that the units were simply withheld from the public to create a more urgent sales environment. I've seen the sale tactic being used in other sales environment in the past, with the most poorly done one being many, many years ago at Carter Motorsports when a sales dude blantantly lied about the availability of a brand new scooter I was looking at.

In a pre-sale environment, I'm not sure I agree with you there. The goal is to sell all units as quickly as possible so the development can secure its financing to start construction. Why lie to someone who wants to buy one of the most expensive units (assuming), when it could otherwise be sold?
One possible scenario is they were purposely holding it back for a VIP client who expressed interest but hadn't signed yet. In that case, I could see that would be frustrating if I were you.
But I don't think any salesperson on the planet holds back immediate sales from interested buyers with cash-in-hand, in the hopes of creating more demand from more fictional interested buyers who haven't yet surfaced. You only do that if you have another buyer already in mind who you would rather sell it to for relationship-building purposes.
