The developer of the $2 billion mixed-use Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley project reached a deal with its lender to provide liquidity during restructuring.

A United States Bankruptcy Court Judge in Texas ruled in early December that sales of villas at the Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley development can proceed, without interference from any lienholder.

Five Star Development, the property's developer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November, a move that halted the foreclosure attempt initiated by Madison Realty Capital, the project’s primary lender.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a form of bankruptcy that allows the existing debtor to continue running the business and managing assets. Chapter 11 bankruptcies allow businesses to be reorganized, including creating a plan regarding how to pay debts, instead of liquidating.

The Bankruptcy Court order requires net proceeds of the villa sales to be preserved in a court-supervised escrow. Since the bankruptcy filing, Five Star has continued to operate normally and has moved ahead with advancing villa sales and closings.

The overall development includes the 215-room Ritz-Carlton hotel, along with 80 Ritz-Carlton Residences Villas and 32 Ritz-Carlton “estate homes.” Mann said the first piece of the Chapter 11 filing was getting back to completing the villas, and the next step will be reengaging with construction on the resort. The group must present a plan to the court to resume the resort in January, and once it is accepted by the court, construction can begin.

Five Star Development, the developer of the Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley, filed Nov. 4 for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which is intended to create “a clear, court-supervised path” to finishing the resort, company leaders said.

A jury has resolved a significant legal battle surrounding the $2 billion Ritz-Carlton, Paradise Valley. The case, which has dragged on since 2021, pitted Scottsdale-based Five Star Development against Las Vegas-based PWI Construction Inc., the project’s former general contractor.

The legal dispute centered around payment issues, construction delays, and contract disagreements. The outcome may signal a turning point for the luxury development, which has faced years of delays and financial challenges.

With this verdict, Five Star can focus on completing the long-delayed project.
