Brian Williams @ PBCA Awards Luncheon + Handelsman v. Handelsman By Augustus Mayhew The Palm Beach Civic Association celebrated its 2018 Annual Awards Luncheon with more than 200 guests on Monday afternoon at The Breakers’ Venetian Ballroom. The PBCA has more than 2,000 members, 130 directors, and 90 corporate members. Architect Jeffery Smith was honored with the organization’s community service award followed by the keynote speaker, MSNBC anchor Brian Williams. Before the luncheon, Chairman Bob Wright welcomed more than 50 of the association’s most generous donors to a VIP reception in the Magnolia Room. Established in 1944, the PBCA is dedicated to “preserve, protect and enhance the special qualities” that make Palm Beach like no other place in the world. “The Legacy Society in honor of Stan Rumbough insures the PBCA’s long-term fiscal stability to benefit generations to come,” said Wright. “The Legacy Society will act as a catalyst to educate our citizens, through organized forums and symposiums, in perpetuity,” added Wright. A former co-chairman and CEO of the Civic Association, Rumbough passed away in September 2017 and was designated the group’s chairman emeritus. |

As Valentine’s Day approaches, I checked-in on Via Amore owners Lovey and Burt Handelsman’s continuing litigation over who-gets-what-for-how-much. Is Via Amore worth $30 million; $36 million? Or? Real estate appraiser Michael R. Slade was on the stand decoding whether many of the couple’s properties are worth $4 million or $20 million or $12 million? Appraising a Worth Avenue/Palm Beach property with the same formula you might utilize for an office building or retail store in Peoria, does sound beside the point. Nonetheless, standard income or cost approaches or “market value” appear to be setting the parameters for the court and when added to Mr. Handelsman’s apparent philanthropic generosity with some tenants on Worth and Peruvian paying rent that you might pay on Main Street in Peoria, Judge Suskauer has a mission impossible undertaking to determine who will own what and at what value.
