Minneapolis Has Settled with HGTV's Nicole Curtis in House Lawsuit
The city of Minneapolis has reached a settlement in its lawsuit against Nicole Curtis's construction company, CBS Minnesota reports.
The city filed suit against Detroit Renovations, of which the HGTV star is president, in January, alleging breach of contract after Curtis failed to make improvements on the property by the deadline outlined in the contract both parties had signed.
Curtis purchased the dilapidated house at 1522 Hillside Avenue North, which had been slated for demolition, from the city for $2 in April 2013 but says she was held up in renovating the property following delays in paperwork and problems with an errant contractor.
"We're taking about $300,000 of my own money and investing it into a property that, when I go to sell it, I might get $160,000 for on a good day," Curtis previously told CountryLiving.com.
In a meeting last Friday, city council members agreed to settle with Curtis's construction company on the conditions that it completes development of the property by Oct. 15, 2017 and deposits construction costs in the amount of $150,000, CBS reports.
If Curtis's company does not finish the renovations by the new deadline, it must give the house's deed over to the city of Minneapolis.
