Court: $10 million developer’s suit against Tampa can move forward

The city could be on the hook for millions of dollars in damages for denying a developer’s 2004 plans to build a condominium tower along Bayshore Boulevard.

On Wednesday, the 2nd District Court of Appeal reversed a lower court’s rejection of a lawsuit filed by Citivest Construction Corp., ruling that the case can move forward.

Tampa attorney Scott McLaren, who represents Citivest, said his clients will seek more than $10 million in damages and legal fees from the city when the case goes to trial.
