Developer of twin condo towers wants lawsuit filed by neighboring building dismissed
A developer building twin condo towers on Fort Lauderdale beach has requested the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a nearby condo claiming breach of contract. Selene's twin towers will be the tallest on the beach, rising 300 feet above sea level at 3000 Alhambra St. The towers are situated to the east of Alhambra Place, a 16-story condo on Fort Lauderdale's barrier island located at 209 N. Birch Road. The twin towers are expected to open this year. The project's design was substantially altered despite a development agreement the builder made with Alhambra's condo association in July 2020, according to a lawsuit filed on May 28 in Broward Circuit Court. The developer dramatically altered the project's exterior design without alerting Alhambra, the lawsuit claims. The lawsuit seeks more than $10 million in damages. Three defendants are named in the lawsuit: KT Seabreeze Atlantic GP, KT Seabreeze Atlantic LP and The Kolter Group. KT Seabreeze Atlantic is no longer in business, according to the lawsuit. Jack Seiler, attorney for the defendants, filed a motion last week urging the court to dismiss the case. 'The plaintiff does not state what the specific plan revisions are, or what provision in the agreement has been breached as a result of those plan revisions,' Seiler stated in the motion. 'The notice of default does not state what provision of the agreement has been breached. Rather, it only provides a list of alleged deviations.' The case has been assigned to Judge Keathan B. Frink. A hearing has not yet been set. 'We find absolutely no merit in the frivolous motion filed,' said Keith Poliakoff, attorney for Alhambra Place. 'We have no doubt that after the judge reviews their motion that it will be dismissed and they will be forced to answer the complaint.'
