According to the latest Orlando Sentinel Story MetroWest’s most luxurious new condo building Veranda Park is having financial troubles.

And who isn’t?

Just another Orlando developer clipped by an anemic economy and housing market which is hurting everyone – except savvy buyers who are beginning to move in and take advantage of great pricing.

In April we posted a blog regarding the liens filed against Veranda Park. Now, Wakovia Bank is proceeding with four separate foreclosure lawsuits against developer Kevin Azzouz and several of his companies for a total of $51 million, according to documents filed recently in Circuit Court in Orlando.

At stake is the beautiful 144-unit condo building off Hiawassee Road called The Residences. If you’ve seen Veranda Park, you’ll know what an incredible piece of work it is. And a boon to MetroWest. They’re expensive but there’s nothing like them anywhere else in Orlando. They’re unique.

“They’re playing incredible hardball with us,” Azzouz said. “The easiest thing for me to do is to put the keys [to the condos] in a box, give it to the bank and walk away, and we’re done. But I don’t want to do that to the community.”

Let’s hope not.
