COMPLAINT
NOW COMES the plaintiff, Steve Vogel, by and through his attorney, Christopher J.
Limited Liability Company, LEILA ZAMMATTA and DAVID CARLINS, the latter two
individuals sued in their individual capacities, for recission, common law fraud, violation of
the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, 815 ILCS 505/1 et seq. and civil conspiracy, as follows:
1. At all relevant times defendant Magellan Parcel C, LLC, an Illinois Limited Liability
Company [hereinafter “MPC”] was the title owner of a certain parcel of real property
Towers”].
Illinois Limited Liability Company [hereinafter “MDG”] held itself out to the public
winning condominium and hotel projects, and that MDG was acting in that capacity

acting in its own name and as the duly authorized agent for MPC and all others with
Liability Company [hereinafter “MMG”] was tasked by MGD with the marketing and
sales of the Vista Towers project to the public, including plaintiff, and performed all
said marketing and sales efforts as the duly authorized agent for MGD, MPC and all
5. At all relevant times defendant, LEILA ZAMMATTA, was the senior vice president

its various investment partners, gave press conferences and interviews to the public

2
that were presented to the public, including the plaintiff.
6. At all relevant times defendant DAVID CARLINS was an officer of MDG, first as
FILED DATE: 9/2/2020 5:22 PM 2020L009446
coordinated sales, marketing and development activities related to the Vista Towers
project as between MDG, MMG and the Dalian Wanda Group [hereafter “Dalian”]
and performed all said efforts as the duly authorized agent for MGD, MPC and all
8. The Dalian Wanda Group is a Chinese hotel investment group that had originally
invested in the Vista Towers project sometime on or prior to 2014 with the stated
intent of all defendants that Dalian would design and ultimately operate the hotel side
of the finished Vista Towers project through its luxury hotel operating subdivision,
9. In his official capacity CARLINS also gave press conferences and interviews to the
public press in relation to the Vista Towers project, engaged in direct sales contact
with prospective buyers in regards to the features of the Vista Towers project, and had
overall approval of the Vista Towers marketing strategies, sales strategies, and the
content of any official statement that might be released to the general public,
including plaintiff, regarding the status and viability of the Vista Tower project,
10. At all relevant times defendant CARLINS had the authority and duty to disclose
accurate, material information regarding the status of the Vista Towers project to
prospective buyers, including plaintiff. CARLINS also had the authority and duty to
3
direct other MDG employees to do so in the course of their employment duties, as

an ownership interest in the Vista Towers project either directly or through his
ownership in an entity.
13. At all relevant times, on information and belief, defendant MDG also held an
14. Wanda, in addition to being a hotel management company, also engaged in hotel
design, hotel construction management and other hotel related consulting and
subsidiary businesses.
15. From a point on or prior to 2014 through the end of 2018 and beyond, defendants, and
each of them, would actively promote Dalian and Wanda as an integral part of the
Vista Towers project to all potential buyers, including plaintiff, as the entity not only
invested in the Vista Towers project but also engaged in the hotel design and
management of the project, specifically including but not limited to promoting to all
prospective buyers, including plaintiff, that Wanda would be acting as the luxury
16. Defendants’ promotion of Wanda as the Vista Towers hotelier to potential buyers,
4
including plaintiff, was done in writing, verbally, in marketing materials, press
Wanda as a one of a kind unique luxury hotel experience that would elevate the hotel
side of the finished Vista Towers project beyond anything heretofore experienced in
Chicago.
17. On or about September 13, 2018, in reliance upon defendants’ various statements, in
with MPC, agreeing to purchase unit 9001 along with several parking spaces, for the
base purchase price of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), plus such
other extras as may be contracted for during the course of construction. [See Exhibit
18. Plaintiff’s purchase price, to date of suit, was one of the top three or four prices paid
19. To date of suit plaintiff has deposited the sum of One Million Five Hundred Forty-
Four Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Six and 59/100 Dollars ($1,544,876.59) with
MDG as earnest money, defendant MDG assuring plaintiff the funds would be held in
an escrow account pending close and would not be employed for any construction or
operating costs.
20. In the course of this construction project, in cooperation with defendant MDG,
plaintiff would also hire an architect/design team to customize and finish certain
features within his unit, said expenditures to date of suit exceeding Two Hundred

21. Unbeknownst to plaintiff, and well prior to plaintiff’s September 13, 2018, execution
of the purchase contract, defendants, and each of them, had been informed that the
FILED DATE: 9/2/2020 5:22 PM 2020L009446
Dalian Wanda Group, and by extension Wanda Hotel Development Co., Ltd., had
reached the decision to sell and otherwise entirely divest itself of the Vista Towers
project. In fact, as early as 2017 Dalian/Wanda was actively seeking to exit the project
and was searching for a purchaser of their 90% interest in the Vista Towers project.
22. On information and belief all defendants were aware of this decision near its
was known to defendants, and each of them, at a time well prior to defendants
23. At no time prior to plaintiff’s September 13, 2018, contract execution did defendants,
or any of them, provide so much as a hint or indicate in any fashion that Wanda was
24. Approximately a month after executing the purchase agreement plaintiff became aware
from an internet news article that Dalian/Wanda was in the process of selling its
United States hotel market, specifically including the Vista Towers project in Chicago.
25. Within days of receiving this information plaintiff sought clarification from
26. In mid-November, 2018, defendants, through MDG officers, including but not limited
6
plaintiff that Dalian was still committed to the project, although for the first time
defendants indicated there was an outside possibility that Wanda may not be the
FILED DATE: 9/2/2020 5:22 PM 2020L009446
operator of the finished hotel. This prospect was presented to plaintiff as an outside
possibility.
27. In August, 2020, news stories broke the fact that that Dalian/Wanda had sold its 90%
interest in Vista Towers to MDG and was completely exiting the project, in effect,
28. These August, 2020, news stories further disclosed that Dalian/Wanda had been
actively searching for a buyer of their interest in the Vista Towers project as part of
their exit from the United States real estate market as long ago as 2017.
29. The news stories further revealed that no later than the first quarter of 2018, and very
possibly earlier, defendants CARLINS, MPC, MDG and MMG, and each of them of
them, knew of Dalian/Wanda’s decision to exit the project, months before defendants
ever came into contact with plaintiff in reference to plaintiff’s condominium purchase.
30. On information and belief defendant ZAMMATTA, in her capacity as MDG Senior
Vice President of Sales, was also aware of Dalian/Wanda’s exit decision months
31. At no time prior to plaintiff’s September 13, 2018, execution of the purchase
agreement did any defendant appraise plaintiff of the Dalian/Wanda decision to exit
the Vista Towers project or Dalian’s search for a replacement investor and hotelier.
32. In fact, defendants, and each of them, would continue to promote Wanda as the hotel
designer and hotelier of the finished hotel well past plaintiff’s September 13, 2018,
execution of the purchase agreement and past the mid-November, 2018, meeting with
7
plaintiff, despite defendants, and each of them, knowing at all relevant times that
Dalian was not only actively seeking to sell its interest in the project, but also that

33. On August 17, 2020, upon hearing the news of Dalian’s sale to MPC, plaintiff wrote
defendants a demand letter with an August 31, 2020, deadline, setting forth
declaring the contract terminated, cancelled and otherwise void and demanding the
34. The August 31, 2020, deadline passed without a response from defendants. This
litigation followed.
