The judgment was against Yale-Steam Associates, a developer based in Washington, D.C., Triangle Business Journal said. In 2006, the company obtained a $9.8 million mortgage from Wachovia in order to fund the $13.5 million purchase of the mobile-home park.

According to county records, the developer had received approval for 204 apartment units, and the loan secured from Wachovia had a future advance limit of up to $50 million to help pay for construction-related costs. However, Triangle Business Journal said the company never obtained the advance loan, and construction never began.

With $9.3 million outstanding on the mortgage, Wachovia, which is owned by ""Wells Fargo & Co."":https://www.wellsfargo.com/ of San Francisco, filed for foreclosure against the developer in March 2009, and the 37-acre site will be up for sale at a public auction on June 1, 2010.
