Exclusive-Negotiating-Agreement

Excerpt:

City of Alameda officials are claiming a victory after a federal judge decided to limit the lawsuit that SunCal Companies has filed over Alameda Point to cover just whether the terms of their former exclusive negotiating agreement prevent SunCal recovering damages.

Judge Charles Breyer said he had "a serious concern" with the legal viability of SunCal's claims for $100 million in lost profits, but would not rule on it until discovery was complete, according to city officials.

In soundly rejecting Measure BSunCal's ballot measure to redevelop Alameda Point. It was defeated by a vote of 85 to 15 percent on February 2, 2010. on Feb. 2, Alameda voters sent the developer SunCal a clear message. Guy Span of The San Francisco Examiner put it very well. "What SunCal did not expect is that the poorly funded opposition ($50,000) could overcome the million dollar mailers, happy talk, TV commercials and glossy plans they put before the voters," Span stated. "Only 15,000 voters showed up at the polls but 85 percent of them told SunCal, the developer, to take a hike."

Representatives for SunCal Companies say the Southern California developer has sued the city for breach of contract. They want to be able to continue their efforts to develop Alameda Point.
