Commercial developer Cliff Tutelian's lawsuit against the City of Fresno and City Councilmember Miguel Arias has been set for a jury trial beginning October 12, 2026, in Fresno County Superior Court. Tutelian alleges the city reneged on a decade-old promise of 100 free parking spaces near his Grand 1401 building, made to help lure anchor tenant Tutor Perini downtown, as the city now pursues a competing parking garage project at the same site.

U.S. District Judge Regina M. Rodriguez ruled that real estate industry trade groups' claim that Denver's Energize Denver ordinance and Colorado's Regulation 28 are preempted by the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act can proceed past a renewed motion to dismiss, while dismissing a related claim about consumer appliances as untimely. The U.S. Department of Justice had filed a statement of interest on September 15, 2026 telling the court the local rules "plausibly are preempted" by EPCA.

U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo ruled on September 30, 2026 that New Jersey may proceed on an amended complaint reviving antitrust claims against AvalonBay Communities, Inc. in the state's algorithmic rent-pricing suit against RealPage, Inc. and its multifamily landlord customers. The ruling follows a March 31, 2026 order that dismissed the state's original federal and state antitrust claims against AvalonBay without prejudice while allowing a consumer-fraud claim to proceed, after which New Jersey sought leave to file a repleaded complaint.

A group of 17 investors sued landlord Mike Kohan's entities in New York State Supreme Court, alleging he used fraudulent operating agreements to conceal their equity stakes in real estate holding companies -- including the entity that owns the Garment District office tower at 345 Seventh Avenue -- while pledging that same equity to lenders without disclosure. The same investors separately sued mezzanine lender The Davis Companies over the building's UCC Article 9 foreclosure sale process, which Davis completed anyway on September 29, 2026, the same week Kohan was removed from his executive and board roles at Kohan Properties Ltd. amid allegations of undisclosed loans and misused Israeli bond proceeds.

A New Jersey bankruptcy judge dismissed the Chapter 11 case of Brass Works Urban Renewal Company, LLC, the sponsor of a warehouse-to-residential loft conversion on Paterson Plank Road in Jersey City, finding the objecting creditor would be harmed more by the case continuing than the debtor would be by dismissal. Brass Works had filed Chapter 11 on May 22, 2026, roughly six months after losing a Delaware Court of Chancery fight in which preferred-equity investor ASVRF Paterson Plank RD J-C, LLC won the right to remove Brass Works as the project LLC's manager following a payment default.

U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, through special servicer Rialto Capital Advisors, filed a foreclosure action on September 8 against Eastview Mall owner Wilmorite in New York County Supreme Court after a $210 million CMBS loan went unpaid at its final extended maturity date. Days before a September 28 public hearing on a Town of Victor plan to acquire mortgaged mall parcels by eminent domain and convey them to a Wilmorite-affiliated entity, lenders' counsel filed objections calling the plan a 'debt evasion scheme' meant to strip their collateral out from under the pending foreclosure.
