The trial court’s factual findings are based on a fair interpretation of the evidence, and its legal conclusions are correct. Neither delivery of the letter of intent nor the closing of the contract to purchase Starrett City was a condition precedent to the enforceability of the parties’ obligations under §18 of the letter of intent (see Schuler-Haas Elec. Co. v. Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co., 40 NY2d 883 [1976]). Execution of the letter of intent by plaintiff organization was not unreasonably delayed, especially in light of the fact that defendants were still making efforts to obtain execution until just days before the letter was signed.
