Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Condominium Association, Inc. v. Urgo Hotels LP (Decade-Long Duplicative Resort-Fee Dispute)
The condominium association for the 239-unit Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island has moved for punitive damages and a temporary stay of a disputed per-occupied-day administrative fee charged by commercial operator Urgo Hotels LP, in litigation that traces back to a 2010 dispute over shared-facility charges at the Riviera Beach, Florida resort. The association's attorneys say damages tied to the fee since 2013 could exceed $45 million, with trial set for early 2027.
