A developer that had offered to make the residents of a Florida seaside community overnight millionaires has walked away from the deal after negotiations stalled.
"The would-be millionaires of Briny Breezes trailer park may have lost their big chance.
A developer who agreed in January to pay $510 million for the waterfront trailer park town canceled the deal Monday because of a dispute with the community, though the company promised to try to work out the differences."
"Ocean Land planned to turn the community of 488 trailers into about 900 multimillion-dollar condo units, a high-end marina and a 300-room luxury hotel. The proposal was scaled back from an earlier version, but Palm Beach County officials and area town leaders remained concerned about such a high-density development coming into the already cluttered coastline."
