March 5, 2013 (COLUMBUS, OH.) – Gryphon Asset Management and its’ principals Richard and Melissa Kruse have been appointed as receiver and ordered to take control of the Grace Plaza retail center just outside of downtown Powell, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus.
The Complaint in Foreclosure was filed on behalf of Heartland Bank and against Grace Plaza owner, Michael Costanzo, on January 14, 2013 with a Motion for Appointment of Receiver filed on February 4, 2013. On February 15, 2013 Judge Duncan Whitney found that a receiver was warranted and appointed Gryphon to take immediate control of the center.
