RIVIERA BEACH — A luxury oceanfront resort in Riviera Beach is facing a wave of legal challenges just two years after construction was completed, with seven lawsuits filed against the property or entities related to its developer.

Two contractors
involved in the construction of the Amrit towers have also
filed lawsuits, claiming they were not paid more than
$100,000 in labor and materials.
One of the property's two homeowners associations filed suit
against the property owner this summer, seeking access to
site plans and permit reviews. The lawsuit did not specify a
motive, but some condo owners say the city of Riviera Beach
is rejecting their homestead exemption claims on property
taxes, even though the condominiums serve as their primary
residences.
The same homeowners' association filed another lawsuit this
week against Riviera Beach, demanding the city release site
plans and permit reviews. The association claims the city is
wrongly asserting it does not have to release the documents.
