Avoiding Foreclosure in Wisconsin

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

There is hope that by the end of the week a deal will be finalized that will put a stop to foreclosure on Metropolitan Place Phase II situated in downtown Madison, said attorney Tim Peyton who is involved in the proceedings. In January two banks began to foreclose on the above property against its owners Buckingham LLC and its manager cum developer Clifford Fisher. The financing problems are being worked out and foreclosures will be stopped. There will be an effort to continue with the work that had got stalled – Williamson Street Co-operative grocery that is inside the building on 333 W.Mifflin Street.

Tim Peyton who is representing the defendants says that already there have been in-depth discussions with the banks and in principle an agreement has been chalked out. He is hopeful that by next week it will be inked and see the light of day. He also added that there is another conference to be held with Dane County judge as well as the banks and he is optimistic about positive results. The foreclosure actions are against Metropolitan Place Phase II and its related 164 units only. The first tower project had been completed and is now fully occupied. The latter is not connected in anyway with the present suit.

In the two tower condo project this 13 storey tower is the second part. According to Associated Bank and LaSalle Bank the owners of Metropolitan Place Phase II had defaulted on some of the loans that amounted to above $26 million. A motion had been filed to appoint a receiver for the tower so as to sell the available property. The Willy Street Co-operative has an agreement regarding store space but the plans got derailed when financing could not be availed of. Later they heard about the foreclosure proceedings. They are hoping that with things being worked out satisfactorily they will be able to set the ball rolling in the store.

Foreclosures are turning topsy-turvy the lives of ordinary people due to a snowballing effect reaction. With the prices of real estate having gone done down the entire construction industry is affected. This in turn is infecting the ancillary industries that depend on it and their subsidiaries in an endless chain reaction. There are whispers going around about recession as stocks begin to tumble. Everybody is looking around for scapegoats as the international markets feel the pressure.
