PALMDALE : City Forecloses on 3 Property Owners

Palmdale filed foreclosure lawsuits this week against the developer of the city’s troubled auto mall and two other property owners, seeking to collect its share of more than $3.5 million in delinquent assessments owed on land in the area.

The lawsuits, authorized by the City Council in May, were filed against the Antelope Valley Auto Center, which owns the undeveloped land within the mall; Paul and Thelma Grubl, who built a BMW dealership that never opened, and Normandy Properties.

The amounts being sought from the three property owners were not immediately available.

The money is owed on bonds the city issued to finance public improvements in the area.

The lawsuits do not involve the five auto dealers already operating within the mall.
