Back Bay $800M Condo Development Dispute
Back Bay $800M Condo Development Dispute
Did you hear about the Back Bay $800M Condo Development Dispute. John Fish and Stephen Weiner have called off their contentious dispute after four years of occupying center stage in Boston’s real estate industry.
Suffolk Construction’s Fish and Weiner Ventures’ Stephen and Adam Weiner settled litigation over a failed $800 million condominium project in the Back Bay neighborhood, the Boston Globe reported. The two sides released identical statements, confirming that the dispute had been resolved. Terms were not disclosed.
Fish and the Weiners have been at each other’s throats for years. The legal fight created a fissure between Fish and Stephen Weiner, who were once close, but have drifted as the battle dragged on.
It all started in August 2019, when Weiner — best known for developing the local Mandarin Oriental hotel — released a statement announcing the scrapping of the luxury condo project at 1000 Boylston Street, which Weiner personally invested in. That announcement didn’t appear to have any sign off from Suffolk Construction, which was building the property.
