What Happened: Under a “build to suit” lease, a landlord purchased a property, made a construction contract with a builder chosen by the tenant, Dairy Queen (DQ), financed a reconstruction of the premises to a DQ restaurant, and leased the reconstructed premises to the tenant. Things went awry after DQ moved in and discovered construction defects in the improvements.
