Named in the suit are Daniel Plote, president of Plote Construction in Hoffman Estates; developer David Plote; and Kurt Kresmery of Plote Homes LLC. Reports stated that those behind the venture have failed to pay off a loan on the project, which includes 116 townhomes already built and a proposed condominium building designed to hold 60 units.
Reports stated that a $325,000 payment was missed before the loan came due on Jan. 15. PNC inherited the loan — initially issued for $9 million by EFS Bank of Elgin — in September 2005, reports stated.
