At 631 and 633 E. Thompson, however, it may have never been Marino’s intention to redevelop the properties. According to a lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court last year, E. Thompson Development had an April 2018 agreement of sale with another buyer to purchase the side-by-side properties “as-is” for $1.05 million, a price that was later reduced to $700,000. E. Thompson Development alleged in the lawsuit that the buyer failed to terminate the contract within the specified time frame, making the agreement of sale fully enforceable. It also alleged that the buyer, a local LLC entity, failed to pay the series of deposits that the contract stipulated.
