Elm Street Builders, Inc. v. Enterprise Park Condominium Ass’n, Inc., Not Reported in A.2d, 1999 WL 701827, 25 Conn. L. Rptr. 457

Facts

The litigation began when Enterprise Park Group, Inc. recorded a Declaration to create a Common Interest Community in Hamden, Connecticut. The Declaration allowed the Declarant to exercise development rights within seven years. After the Declarant sold units to various defendants, the rights were transferred to Elm Street Builders, Inc. The plaintiff believed the seven-year period began with a later modification, while the defendants contended it started with the original Declaration. The plaintiff's inaction during the development period led to the dispute over the expiration of rights.
