Finish to suit condo towers

Well, I was thinking today, (thats kind of a big event), and I had had an idea thats probably stupid or not as new as I think it is but I'll share anyway. So what if a developer built condo towers and finished the structure, exterior, and common areas but left the units completely bare. Roughed in HVAC, plumbing, electric, no interior walls unless they are structural, just the absolute minimum. The units would sell for much less than if they were finished, there would be a quicker turnover for the developer, and a blank slate for creative or do it yourself residents. It seems to me that there must be a market for this, if the price was right I would certinally be. Has this been done before? Is there a good reason why it would'nt work? It seems like a great way to live in a nice urban highrise with out paying for a "luxury condo".
