Jokes about rich people building condo towers where other rich people don't want them to practically write themselves. In this particular case, the twin 16-story towers of Privé, in Aventura, have secured their building permit. So, well, after a legal drama watch by every realtor in town, that's finally happening. [Real Deal;

Things are getting weird over at Privé. Developers Gary Cohen and Dan Lebensohn were able to get the Third District Court of Appeals to vacate a restraining order restricting them from finishing the sidewalk through the neighboring Island Estates that would allow them to build their two luxury condo towers. In response, the homeowners of the lots whose houses the sidewalks will encroach upon attempted to block construction by "sitting in the mud, parking cars and laying on top of them". Homeowners David and Dara Clarke were arrested after ramming the newly poured sidewalk with their Porsche. We have one guess who called the police. [Real Deal Miami; Prive coverage]

Privé, the two would-be condo towers whose very existence has been held up in courts for months ostensibly over a sidewalk (although, as everyone knows, the sidewalk is only a talisman for bigger things) is fighting back harder than ever. The developers have sued the City of Aventura for $200 million "to ensure construction begins on schedule." [Real Deal Miami; Previously]

Privé, the twin-towered, private island-ed luxury project has stalled due to ongoing litigation with those neighbors on the island next door over that sidewalk issue and buyers are dropping like flies, with about half of the 77 that reserved so far not going in contract. Oy vey. [SFBJ]
