Lucaya

91 comments:

  1. Has anyone been able to contact Platinum with regards to what is going on with Lucaya? I have been unable to get a reply from them.

    ReplyDelete
  2. I have been in phone contact with Geoff Filson on a few occasions over the last year. Last month he advised me that he was currently investigating options for the site, including seeking partners to progress an opportunity for a much smaller building to be utilized as an extended care facility (old age home).

    ReplyDelete
  3. Steve Van Die of Platinum indicated to me one year ago that they were in discussions with the city of Kelowna to have the Lucaya site used in conjunction with a new convention centre the city is building. The latest information I have from Platinum is the Q2 2010 update Steve sent August 13th. I haven't been able to gather any more recent information from them recently.

  4. Thanks worried_investor. I don't know why Geoff Filson and the rest of the Platinum staff can not be more forth coming with their information on these projects. A monthly/quarterly newsletter with a quick bullet point list of all the projects would do a lot to sooth investor angst! Well hopefully this project can find some legs, this 2+ years of nothing is frustrating!

  5. Received by a Lucaya investor Dec 10, 2010 following update request

    We are grinding through the long process of litigation against the developer and related parties at the moment. We have recently been able to tie up about $800K of their cash assets through a court ruling. This is a positive result since it reinforces our position that our claim is one that should be heard by the Court.

    From the development side, there is very little to report. We continue to explore development options but the market in Kelowna is very soft at the moment and is expected to remain so for some time to come.

    As we get into the spring we will be re-evaluating our options.

    Sincerely,

    Geof Filson, VP Business Development
    Platinum Equities Inc.

  7. Why not put this project up for sale as is, and forget about completing the structure

  8. Does Platinum actually own the land now?
    If not obviously they can't sell it.
    If yes what is its appraised value versus how much capital was originally raised from investors and what was spent to date including all these "litigation" fees?

    ReplyDelete
  9. I have been led to believe that Platinum has full title to the property, if so there should be no problem to get a value on it

    ReplyDelete
  10. Perhaps for clarity someone should ask Platinum to provide a copy of current title or investors should do a BC title search to verify?
    Wouldn't Platinum also get an appraisal done?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Does anyone now how to get a BC tittle???

    ReplyDelete
  12. 2. Property Title Searches

    One needs to have the legal address of the property in order to do a search. This legal address can be found in the Limited Partnership Agreement and/or Offering Memorandum. It does not hurt to bring along the street address in case the legal address does not show up. A search however using the street address will cost a few dollars more.
    Registration numbers relevant to the property are found to the left of the pages (caveats, liens, charges against property). One can request copies of documents relating to any of these registration numbers on the property
    A current title will provide you with the current date of transfer of title (sale) and the terms (cash, cash and mortgage, see instrument). The registration number here will allow you to access copies of the purchaser's sworn affidavit as to value of the property at the time of purchase and other worthwhile information. Registration numbers showing beside mortgages if requested will provide copies of actual mortgages, details of terms, date of mortgage and individual names and signatures of mortgagors.

  13. Try this link for BC land title searches which is BC Land Title and Survey.
    They should be able to help.

  14. Re Jan 23 2011 7.09 am and 10.07
    are you also investors in this project???
    we should do a search for all the investors involved and see what we could do, and perhaps see what Geoff Filson at PE could offer or suggestions.

    did you catch the article in the Calgary Herald business section today? "security regulators cracking down on fraud". Talks about ASC taking fraudsters to criminal court and getting jail time. Talks about Calgarian, Robert John Sellars being found guilty of lying to investors, received a two year sentence and was ordered to pay restitution of almost $2 million.

  19. I'm not sure if there are investors in Lucaya that are involved in the Dominion or Sunpark/Pemberton projects, but following this blog it seems to me Platinum Equities management have a history of putting second mortgages on these properties, either "accidentally" like Platinum say's or more likely as a way to keep their investment schemes rolling. So the question I have to fellow Lucaya investors is, has anyone done a title search on the Lucaya property to see if this is what Platinum has done with this project as well? I think we may have gotten ironically lucky with the contractor placing liens on the building, but since those were supposedly cleared over six months ago, the management at Platinum might have had an opportunity to accidentally place a second mortgage on this property. Either way I'm quite disheartened by what I see unfolding in the Dominion and Sunpark projects. Its one thing to lose money on a bad investment if the market goes against you but to lose your money based on possibly fraudulent management is something else entirely!

    ReplyDelete
  20. What's the latest news on the Lucaya project?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Lucaya property is a long term hold, and yes they did let us know we had to pay off the liens. I am not sure if some investors are just plain stupid but running around saying the sky is falling doesnt help our investment! I visit Kelowna regularly, it is impressive that we didnt lose this property a year ago. I believe in the property and the market will come back in Kelowna. Keep running around and cry wolf and we will lose this to some developer from Vancouver who will develop this site when the market returns.

    ReplyDelete
  22. hey poster: Tuesday, March 22, 2011 8:27:00 PM

    You calling investors plain stupid? We invested money with you because of trust. We also invested in this property with major $'s ..we didn't invest in cookies or a bake sale. When you don't return our calls and don't update us what do you expect?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I agree that the Lucaya property is a prime development in a great city and I am willing to wait for the condo market to turn the corner, my concern is with the principals of Platinum. Putting second mortgages "accidentally" on other projects the management team operates does not bode well for proper management of these investments. Therefore my concern is not for the Lucaya development, my concern is the mismanagement of the entire Platinum Equities portfolio. And calling investors stupid is 1) not going to help further these projects along and 2) speaks to the maturity level of fellow investors.

    I have limited involvement with the on-site construction. Our Building and Permits Department would be able to answer your questions better.

  30. October 18, 2008 The Calgary Herald quotes Philip Pincus saying that Limited Partners can get a refund of their money if the Lucaya project does not proceed. This was in 2008. The project was to be completed by 2010.

    Limited Partners are entitled to a refund of their monies.

    Chandran stopped the development of Lucaya as per the City of Kelowna.

    ReplyDelete
  31. As Lucaya Limited Partners, we deserve a refund of our investment for the mess that Chandran mismanaged, letting the project sit like a pile of rubble in Kelowna! He mismanaged our $17 million as limited partners.

    It is now 2011 and we deserve a refund of prinicpal, earnings and damages for poor management because he obviously did a terrible job at our investment.

  32. I do agree, how could we go about setting up a committee, and get real serious of doing something about this, and I mean sooner than later

  33. I'm also a LP in Lucaya and want the situation rectified asap. Has gone on too long and I'm hearing too many different stories, especially reading this blog. The group of us need to connect somehow. Perhaps a meeting somewhere?

    Philip Pincus meant Limited Partners and depositors need to be reimbursed because they got taken by Chandran stopping the development.

    Clearly, as GP he has not moved forward to earn anything for Limited Partners.

    It is 2011 and the Lucaya is still gravel, rocks and rubble, in other words, an EYESORE to the City of Kelowna .

  36. Check out the CIBC financing which was pulled for the Lucaya project because of bad credit and / or his credit standing was on shaky grounds.

    If his credit standing was on solid ground, the project would have gotten financing to completion.

    We know that for a fact with major financial institution loans financing.

    In the Calgary Herald of October 18, 2008, Philip Pincus said that the subprime mortgages fiasco in the USA resulted in the CIBC stopping its financing on the Lucaya project.

    However, if Platinum Equities financing was on solid ground the CIBC would have approved further financing of the Lucaya project.

    Seeing that Chandran kept taking out "accidental mortgages" in the millions of dollars on each and everyone of his purchases whether it is building or land, resulted in Platinum Equities becoming an extremely high risk concern for the CIBC financing.

    Consequently, the CIBC stopped further financing because the PE GP kept taking out mortgages of Limited Partners money from the assets, resulting in the asset being of no collateral value to the CIBC.

    The only one to blame for this mismanagement is of course Shariff, Sri, Srivavasn, S.H. Chandran.

    To date, Chandran has found no further financing for the Lucaya Kelowna project and has not progressed to earn any money for us, Limited Partners.

    Thus, Lucaya Limited Partners should get their money back from Chandran and let us stop his nonsense on our limited partners' money.

  55. Shariff Chandran is only using limited partners' money to accomplish his own personal and financial goals and does give a s about us. We should charge him penalties and interest because the major financial banks like the CIBC and others won't give him financing. So since we are a bank-like, we should charge him penalties and interest.

  59. I think by now we all get the picture of who and what PE is so I see no constructive reason to vent anger here. We do need to get organized and seek legal advisement. I do not believe we would ever get our full investment back because it was spent long ago. Can we make them pay? Only if we are willing to finance legal council over a long period of time. We need to find a firm that will take this on, but first we need some idea of how much money we can raise. We also need to find as many investors as we can. If anyone has an accounting background, legal background, engineering, commercial real estate, etc we need to identify these people. I was involved in saving another investment gone sour by SCI. It takes alot of commitment from investors. It takes people with skills. WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT TO ALL THE INVESTORS of this project. How do we do this?

    Once again, Shariff Chandran is stealing from investors by not communicating the sale and its details and also paying out less money than ought to be.

    Must we advise limited partners about rallying and hiring litigation teams to get back what is due to limited partners?

    Other limited partners from another investors' blog said that multiple partners from projects should make a list of limited partners from each project that they are in. Next we create a database of limited partners, eliminate duplication and cross referencing who is which project. Then, we must ALL get together by coordinating and meeting to decide what legal teams we will hire to get our money plus rightful earnings back from Shariff and Chitra Chandran and Platinum Equities Inc.

    We are tired of each of you complaining about what is happening in your project, about Shariff Chandran stealing your money and not telling you. It is about time we get our act together and fight this CRIMINALS, Shariff Chandran and Chitra Chandran.

    1. If you live in Calgary, you can go to the police station closest to 906 12th Avenue SW Calgary to file criminal charges of theft or you can go to the police station nearest to where you live. Get other limited partners of your project Eleven eleven building to file criminal charges of theft as well.

    2. Next, you head down to the RCMP office to file criminal charges as well. You can do the same as the police reporting by getting others from your Eleven eleven building project to file criminal charges too.

    3. Next you organize limited partners from your group to hire a legal team.

    4. Next you organize limited partners from your group to get together with limited partners of other groups to go to the broadcast media, meaning, television (Global news, the National or CTV) to protest outside 906 12th Avenue SW Calgary.

    How to Report Tax Fraud in Canada
    By Eric Som, eHow Contributor

    Print this article

    How to Report Tax Fraud in Canadathumbnail A court may impose monetary penalties for those found guilty of tax fraud.

    In an effort to minimize tax fraud, the Canada Revenue Agency manages the Informant Leads Program. The program allows CRA to receive information from the public about tax fraud allegations. If CRA believes there is an element of noncompliance with tax legislation, the agency takes the appropriate enforcement action. The Informant Leads Program has five regional offices in Canada. You must report the alleged crime in the office located in your region. CRA does not disclose the identity of informants.
    Related Searches:

    Difficulty:

    How to Report Tax Fraud in Canadathumbnail A court may impose monetary penalties for those found guilty of tax fraud.

    In an effort to minimize tax fraud, the Canada Revenue Agency manages the Informant Leads Program. The program allows CRA to receive information from the public about tax fraud allegations. If CRA believes there is an element of noncompliance with tax legislation, the agency takes the appropriate enforcement action. The Informant Leads Program has five regional offices in Canada. You must report the alleged crime in the office located in your region. CRA does not disclose the identity of informants.

  76. What is the alleged tax fraud related to the Lucaya project?

    ReplyDelete
  77. There is tax fraud abundant within limited partners' investment money given to Platinum and Accolade Equities and Shariff Chandran and his sister, Chitra Chandran.

    such as issuing fraudulent T5's to limited partners.

    1. I am sorry but this makes no sense. Is there anyone who can actually respond to my question reading this?

  78. Limited partners should take their T5's to Canada Revenue Agency.

    "Mayne adds that communication with the property owner has dried up over the past several months. Attempts to contact the owner through registered letters, phone calls and emails have been ignored."

    1. It must be the same Mamdani company in Vancouver that bought the Lucaya at a reduced price, making a profit off of limited partners of his own project, Platinum Equities Inc.

      Delete
    2. The Mamdani company that bought the Dominion building during the trial last year, 2011.

      Delete
    3. Do you base this "information" on anything concrete or just waste time posting?
      Mamdani did not buy the Dominion Building in 2011.
      In fact there is no record of Mamdani buying the building at all and there was no "trial".

      Delete
    4. Please read the Dominion court appearances in 2011 and you will see that Mamdani is stealing from limited partners every way we turned.

      Shariff aka Sri Chandran and his sister are contract workers for Mamdani.

      Delete
  85. Platinum Equities Inc. is a total scam project of Mamdani's.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Prior to Platinum Equities Inc., Srinivansan Chandran and his sister, Chitra Chandran were poor ass bitches before they got involved with Mamdani and are contract workers of his. Sri was charged with 8 counts of fraud prior to Platinum Equities Inc. How could he afford to own so much property and buildings if he did not work for Mamdani?
