In today’s difficult economy banks and lending institutions have
been forced into the position of becoming developers and owners of defaulting projects that are in a state
of incompleteness.
Financial
institutions assuming the position of developer/owner additionally assume the financial liabilities including the fiduciary
responsibilities to future owners or renters of the properties.
Developer/Owner Responsibilities
• Finish
the project according to plans, specifications, sales and closing documents,
including latent defects.
• Protect
incomplete projects from the elements.
• Secure incomplete projects from pedestrian access to avoid lawsuits.
• Maintain
the project in such a manner that the project can be sold profitably.
