Peter Thomas outraged by former Grant Park Bar One neighbors

But Thomas, the husband of “Housewives” castmate Cynthia Bailey, recently closed Bar One because banks had foreclosed on the rental property and he was unable to buy the property himself. The foreclosure, he said, had nothing to do with him. He said earlier this year that $100,000 of his rental money was never passed on to the bank for the mortgage but pocketed by the owners, who were eventually foreclosed on by Fidelity Bank.

“I offered the bank a lucrative offer,” Thomas said in an exclusive interview recently. “They completely dismissed me. I was dealt with extreme prejudice.”

A company called Decatur Properties, run by Stephen H. Brolly and James B. Miller, purchased the Bar One property for $1.2 million June 3 and still own the property. Decatur Properties is a subsidiary of Fidelity Bank. Thomas said Fidelity rebuffed him.

The previous owners were Andrew Wittingham, Alfred Wittingham and Eloshua Elliott, according to a public notice filed in the Daily Report in May.

The property, now identified in public records as 701 Memorial Drive instead of 687 Memorial Drive, sat empty without any signs whatsoever that it’s up for rent or sale when I stopped by on Thursday, November 13. The bank plans to sell the property.
