McWhinney alleges fraud by former partner in Promenade Shops at Centerra
Centerra developer McWhinney has sued its former partners in the Promenade Shops at Centerra, seeking $92 million for alleged fraudulent transactions.
The Denver Post reports that McWhinney won a $42 million judgment against Poag & McEwen Lifestyle Centers-Centerra LLC of Memphis, Tenn., in Larimer District Court, Aug. 15. That was the culmination of a lawsuit filed in 2011.
On Nov. 8, however, Loveland-based McWhinney filed a second claim in Larimer District Court, saying that it uncovered additional fraud during the discovery process on the first lawsuit. Poag & McEwen is seeking to have the case moved for U.S. District Court in Denver and intends to appeal the Larimer District Court ruling.
