Now, the roughly 27-acre site is hitting the market for $68 million, and proceeds of the sale will be used to satisfy creditors, according to J. Michael Issa, a turnaround specialist who is now managing Treetop Development, the company through which Hadid owned the property.
Hadid, father of models Gigi and Bella Hadid, didn’t respond to a request for comment. “This was supposed to be [Hadid’s] jewel,” said Gene Bush of Coldwell Banker Realty, who is co-listing the property with colleague Jade Mills.
