Issues & Lawsuits

Monad TerraceSouth Beach

Foreclosure lawsuit put on hold

People can finally expect Monad Terrace to break ground this fall, as the foreclosure lawsuit filed by its lending company has been put on ice. One of South Beach’s most anticipated projects, the Pritzker Prize-winning Jean Nouvel-designed development has resumed construction activity. A Monad Terrace spokesperson confirmed “that litigation has been put on hold while the parties negotiate refinancing”.
 
The lawsuit came about when lender EO Monad Terrace claimed that the Alton Road development failed to repay its mortgage on maturity. Once complete, the elevated condo project (accommodating rising sea levels) will feature a naturally-filled lagoon at its core along with a 116-foot swimming pool, café and juice bar, bicycle and water sports storage, sun decks, climbing gardens and more.
