MIAMI BEACH, Florida — When a wealthy asset manager plucked the iconic Carillon complex out of bankruptcy in 2015 and soon after sent acclaimed spa operator Canyon Ranch packing, unit owners at the North Beach luxury resort/condo were aghast. They said it was the start of a slow erosion of amenities that they treasured — and paid dearly for — at the three-tower high-rise overlooking the surf and sand.
So they sued.
The relationship went downhill from there, perhaps reaching rock bottom when management at the hotel operated by Z Capital inside the complex tried to assess the unit owners millions of dollars to cover the cost of fighting the owners’ own lawsuit.
