Springbelt Bus. Ctr. L.P. v. Fairfax County

Virginia Circuit Court

18 Va. Cir. 8

Landowner brought declaratory judgment action alleging that County had breached a lease agreement when it vacated Landowner’s warehouse, and that when County inherently threatened condemnation by attempting to purchase the warehouse, it reduced the property’s value. Landowner alleged this was inverse condemnation and it was entitled to compensation. Court held that whatever County did concerning a purchase, it constituted condemnation blight and expense incident to a possible condemnation. It was not inverse condemnation and condemnation blight did not amount to a taking for which compensation was available. Landowner’s action was dismissed.
