The Biscayne 21 condominium is witnessing a legal standoff between developer Two Roads Development and eight holdout residents opposing the demolition for luxury housing. These residents refuse to sell, citing inadequate compensation and their homeowner rights. A legal clash arose when the developer sought to amend condo rules to ease the termination approval process. The Third District Court of Appeals favored the holdouts, underscoring the significance of each owner's vote. This conflict resonates with broader issues in Miami's condo market following the Champlain Towers South tragedy, resulting in increased scrutiny on safety regulations for older properties. The outcome remains uncertain as the developer seeks a Supreme Court review, while holdouts consider legal actions for repairs and damages if their petition is declined.
