DPR Moves to Foreclose on Tech Tower

BELLEVUE, WA-Point, counterpoint. Like a game of chess, the parties to the suit over the project's suspended construction each take their turns. Only this is no game, and the stakes are too high for the faint of heart.

BELLEVUE, WA-The interrupted development of the 20-story Bellevue Technology Tower, a project of Bellevue-based E&H Properties, is ensnarled in a morass of suits, countersuits and third-party suits sure to fill the coffers of many attorneys by the time the legal finger pointing is done.

As previously reported in GlobeSt.com on July 23rd, E&H, owned by local Eugene Horbach, filed a $100-million suit against DPR Construction Inc., the project’s general contractor. Work on the tower at 333 108th Ave. NE came to an abrupt halt this May when E&H failed to make a scheduled $2.47-million payment to DPR. The contractor has since filed liens against the project totaling $8,845,047.

E&H’s rests its claims for damages on the allegations that DPR’s lien was grossly inflated, was in retribution for Horbach’s request for an audit of the project and significantly hurt the project’s chance of gaining financing.
