Real Estate Litigation
Wilkes Artis is the oldest real estate law firm in the Washington Metropolitan region and is recognized as the leading authority in real estate tax and condemnation litigation.
Eminent Domain
In a seven day trial conducted by Wilkes Artis trial lawyers David Fuss and Scott Cryder, a D.C. Superior Court jury awarded Southwest Landholder (an affiliate of the Akridge Company) $32 million as just compensation for the District’s taking of its land in Buzzard Point for the new D.C. United Soccer Stadium. Although the District had provided the property owner $21.1 million as estimated just compensation for the taking, at trial the city argued to the jury through testimony of its expert appraiser David Lennhoff, that the property’s actual value was only $13-$14 million. The WilkesArtis trial team countered with extensive evidence from its expert appraiser, William Harvey, as well as ownership’s Adam Gooch, that the District had vastly under estimated this site’s potential value as of the date of taking in 2015. Although the District sought to have the jury’s verdict set aside, in a strongly worded opinion the trial judge flatly denied the District’s motion. Subsequently, the District decided not to appeal the matter to the D.C. Court of Appeals. This is the first eminent domain trial that the city had lost in more than two decades.
