Fort Lauderdale High End Home Builder Glenn Wright Facing Lawsuits

If you live on the east side of Fort Lauderdale, it is certain that you have heard of the new home builder Glenn Wright.  Wright is well known for his 2-story “mcmansions” in the Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods of Rio Vista, Victoria Park and Coral Ridge.

Wright’s grandest project, La Preserve, envisioned to be a luxury gated home community in a natural setting remains unfinished and as the Sun-Sentinel reports; 39 of the 67 homes are in foreclosure.*

Wright, a prominent name in home building is facing several lawsuits from angry would-be homeowners, contractors and projects that remain unfinished.*

It is reported that Wright’s development companies are in the red for more than $100 million.   The developer has deeded at least 106 of his company’s properties to a private firm that specializes in debt restructuring.*
