As part of a divorce settlement, an ex-husband made a legally binding promise to his ex-wife to provide housing for their twin 18-year-old daughters throughout their undergraduate college careers. Pursuant to that promise, the ex-husband entered into a contract with a contractor for the renovation of a condominium that the ex-husband purchased near the daughters’ college campus. The contract called for the renovations to be complete before school began on August 1. The contractor began renovating the condo but breached the contract by abandoning the condo unfinished on July 1. The contractor was aware when the agreement was made of the purpose for which the ex-husband wanted the completed condo. Which of the following, if true, would best support the ex-husband’s claim for consequential damages on account of the condo not being finished by August 1?
