The legal issues that have contributed to delays in construction of the Krikorian theater project have been extended several more months, according to court documents.
The Jan. 20 case management conference was vacated and a trial setting conference has been scheduled for July 12, according to Riverside County Superior Court records. The parties involved in the lawsuit – attorneys presenting Krikorian’s Showprop Menifee, LLC and several contractors – have been served notice of the impending trial.
Krikorian has not made a recent statement regarding the timeline for resuming construction on the theater complex, which has been idle for nearly two years. He has most often used a loss of funding as the reason for delays during the COVID-19 pandemic, but a lawsuit that ties up several of his sub-contractors also has been a major factor.
When he appeared before the City Council in October, Krikorian said he hoped to resume construction on at least the adjacent retail spaces in 60 to 90 days. A lawsuit that won’t even be scheduled for another six months appears to be extending the timeline much further.
Charles Pernicka, attorney with the Opus Law Firm that represents Krikorian, declined to comment on the case in response to a request from Menifee 24/7.
I am concerned about all the abandoned projects around Menifee. I can't believe I'm the only citizen of Menifee who isn't bothered by the service station sitting idle for over a decade on the north east corner of McCall and Bradley Road. Or the Smart and Final weed bed across from the Menifee Admin offices on Haun Road. Or the Krikorian debacle on Newport. I hope the City has contingency plans for these eyesores. They are an embarrassment to an otherwise beautiful young city. Phil Adams, Sun City CA
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have a bowling alley than a theater or a Theater where real Plays can be presented. People don't like Movie Media and their amature talent who call themselves "Actors"
