The Worldwide Church of\u00a0 God’s old Pasadena campus properties are once again in the news:<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developer has 30 days to respond to default warning<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

San Gabriel Valley Tribune<\/strong>,\u00a0CA\u00a0– Nov 15, 2007<\/nobr><\/font><\/p>\n

ALTADENA – Problems are mounting for Dorn Platz & Co<\/strong>., the developer of a major redevelopment project on the city’s west side.<\/font><\/p>\n

Los Angeles County officials have warned Dorn Platz that because of several outstanding financial disputes at its Lincoln Crossing project, the firm was in default of its development agreement with the county.<\/font><\/p>\n

Dorn Platz is also facing problems with its complex Ambassador West project in Pasadena, one of the largest in the city’s history, on 19.72 prime acres of the former Ambassador College<\/strong> campus.<\/font><\/p>\n

The developer – the third in eight years to propose a project for 19.72 acres of the former Ambassador College campus – is embroiled in a lawsuit with Harvest Rock Church over the six-story, 440,000-square-foot Sunrise Senior Living complex.<\/font><\/p>\n

The church claims the building, which adjoins the church-owned Ambassador Auditorium, encroaches on its property.<\/font><\/p>\n

Last week, Standard Pacific Homes pulled out of the project, leaving Dorn Platz looking for another builder for 70 condominiums on the site.<\/font><\/p>\n

Ambassador West will include 46 apartments in existing buildings – including affordable units – in a project that would preserve 72 percent of the landscaped site as open space.<\/font><\/p>\n

There have been problems and difficulties in selling and “developing” what used to be the site of the headquarters of God’s church–though now there is almost nothing Christian about it any more.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
