Statement of Case:
Village Green alleges that it bought an apartment complex in Des Moines from Defendant Colaman RE Holdings, LLC and that Colaman misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts about the condition of the apartment complex to Village Green, including known water damage and the need for mandatory elevator upgrades. Village Green further alleges that one of Colaman RE Holdings' owners (Arend Accola) and the manager of the property (Altos Realty Advisors IA, LLC), also misrepresented material facts about the condition of the property. Village Green further alleges that a previous owner of the property (Grand Stratford LLC) failed to disclose material facts about the condition of the property to Colaman RE Holdings, LLC. Village Green seeks monetary damages for these alleged failures. Village Green also claims the conduct of Arend Accola was willful and wanton and that Village Green is entitled to punitive damages. The Defendants deny all of the allegations made by Plaintiffs, and assert they properly disclosed all information about the property necessary or required to Plaintiffs. |
