A construction company in Honolulu built a $500,000 home on the wrong vacant lot, leading to a lawsuit involving the lot owner, Annaleine Reynolds, who purchased the land for $22,000. The developer, Keaau Development Partnership, is suing everyone involved, including Reynolds, the construction company, and the county for approving the building permits. Reynolds rejected offers to swap lots or buy the house at a discount, and has countersued for "unauthorized construction," while her attorney argues that allowing such actions would set a dangerous precedent.
A woman in Hawaii is facing a legal battle after a construction company mistakenly built a $500,000 home on her property, which she had purchased for $22,500 at a tax auction. The company intended to build homes on properties it had bought in the subdivision but accidentally constructed one on the wrong lot. The woman, Annaleine Reynolds, is being sued by the developers, who offered to swap her lot or sell her the house at a discount, but she refused. The case involves multiple parties, including the construction company, the home's architect, the previous property owners, and the county that approved the permits, and is headed to court for resolution.
