This developer has a history of upsetting his neighbors. Brisben waged a seven-year battle with the city of Montgomery, Ohio to put an office tower in a residential area. After winning this court battle in ‘94, Brisben sued Montgomery for $19 million, which he claimed was the amount he lost during the project’s delay. Delays continued even after he won the case, however, as Brisben sought to pre-register tenants for the building. Brisben also alienated Kennedy Heights neighbors in ’94 when he decided to build low-income housing next to them instead of the condos he originally proposed.
