Multiple lawsuits filed against The Dynasty | Ocoee developers

Montierre Development, The Dynasty | Ocoee's developers, is facing multiple lawsuits and construction liens totaling more than $11 million in alleged unpaid debts. 

The group is developing The Dynasty | Ocoee, a mixed-use sports project on 159 acres in Ocoee, featuring 1,100 hotel rooms, 17 sports fields and 500,000 square feet of commercial, retail and restaurant space.

Throughout 2025, documents filed in an Orange County Circuit Court revealed ongoing litigation against Jaime Douglas, and his two entities, Montierre Development PLLC and MDTL Enterprise LLC. 

Public court records show four pending lawsuits filed by lenders, investors and contractors. 

Gerring Investments LLC issued a claim Tuesday, May 27, seeking more than $6.25 million. Its claim came after two investor entities each claimed $2.5 million in unpaid loan obligations in January. Contractors involved in the project also have filed counterclaims and liens, with Aecom Technical Services alone alleging more than $8.9 million is owed for design and pre-construction work. 

Douglas denied the claims in court filings.

Ocoee City Attorney Richard Geller said the city remains optimistic about the project. Ocoee approved a planned unit development on the site Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, and the approvals remain in effect and binding on the developer and any future property owner.
