People get too hung up on the whole "official languages" thing. Governments have official languages, the rest of us don't. We can do business in whatever language we want as long as our official filings with government are in an official language.
As far as I'm concerned, if these condo owners in Richmond want to run their business in Mandarin, there should be no obstacles to this whatsoever. The reality is that they will pay for this privilege, as the market values of their condos will adjust to the fact that virtually no non-Mandarin speakers will be interested in buying units in that complex... they will effectively be limiting the pool of buyers drastically. Maybe they don't care; that's their call to make.
