The developer announces it can't meet its Sept. 30 deadline to purchase the former AMC Theatres property from the city. The council votes to extend the closing date on the land to the end of March 2011, as long as $100,000 is placed in escrow by the end of January 2011.

The city council voted 6-1 Tuesday to assign a purchase and sale agreement for the former AMC Theatre site to local development group Twin Development. The developer is relying on foreign investors to provide the money necessary to purchase the land and launch its project.

United decides to let go of the downtown Symphony project in hopes that another group will be able to make the high-rise project a reality. Twin Development takes over and plans a similar mixed-use project with only three high rises.

The Federal Way City Council expected to finalize the sale of the former AMC Theatre site, but was instead taken by surprise when the developer reported it does not have the money to make the purchase. The City Council held a special meeting on March 23 and decided to extend the contract until Sept. 30, 2010.

With construction expected in summer of 2008, United announces the project will need to be delayed for one year. The Canadian developers said the economy and hardships in securing financial backing were to blame for the delay.
