Connecticut man who sued constructors for building $1.5 million house on his land has been given a huge update

A Connecticut man who has been suing a construction company for building a $1.5 million house on his private land has been given a settlement by the courts.

Dr Daniel Kenigsberg opened up a lawsuit last year after he returned back to a property he bought in 1991 to find that someone had built a house worth $1.5 million on it.

The plot in Fairfield, Connecticut is adjacent to Kenigsberg’s family home and he became sole owner of the unused plot when his brother passed away in 2001.

But for the past year, the Doctor had been in a legal battle with Sky Top Partners LLC as he alleged that they built the $1.5 million property on his land unlawfully.

Connecticut man gets an update in legal battle over $1.5 million house

The back-and-forth between Kenigsberg and the construction firm far preceded this random house erection, as Sky Tops allegedly approached the Connecticut man years prior with bids to buy the land.

According to previous reports, the developers offered Kenigsberg $400,000 for the plot back in 2022, but the offer was apparently declined.

Still, Sky Tops claim that they actually bought the property in October 2022 for $350,000, although Kenigsberg was none the wiser.

Now, after the plot owner had sued the developers, they believe that they were duped by South African resident pretending to be the owner.

Fast forward to the current day and further reports suggest that a settlement has been agreed on, but with Kenigsberg getting a payout.

As reported by Patch, the land has now been sold by Kenigsberg.

Patch details that the house was sold to the developer firm for $1.45 million, which came after any settlement was made.

The sale reportedly went through in July, 2024, ending this very public dispute and leaving Kenigsberg with a six-figure sum.

To avoid all of this stress, maybe we should all follow the trend of this man who made a house on wheels, then we’d have no land disputes aside from the odd parking quarrel.
