Columbus Ohio Dump Truck Company Brief:

  • South Florida-based real estate development columbus oh dump truck company Terra secured a $230 million loan to construct the first phase of CentroCity — a mixed-use development near Miami International Airport, according to Commercial Observer.
  • Terra landed the loan four months after it settled with the relatives of victims and survivors of the June 2021 Surfside, Florida, condo collapse, according to The Tampa Bay Times. The Champlain Towers condominium collapse killed 98 people. Terra and general contractor John Moriarty and Associates were among the last defendants to settle with plaintiffs, who received nearly $1 billion. 
  • Terra developed the 18-story Eighty Seven Park condominium, which sat next to Champlain Towers South. A class-action complaint updated last November alleged that the towers were “badly damaged and destabilized” because of excavation and construction at the Eighty Seven Park condominium, according to court documents. All of the Terra entities deny that their columbus oh dump truck company at 87 Park caused or contributed to the collapse of Champlain Towers, according to representatives from the company. They add that the settlement included no admission of any liability.
