LOXAHATCHEE, FL — The company behind the rejected Project Tango data center has returned to Palm Beach County Circuit Court, this time asking a judge to strip a director of its property's master association of his seat.
PBA Holdings, Inc. filed a verified derivative complaint on Aug. 14, 2026, suing on behalf of the Central Park Commerce Center Master Association, Inc. rather than for itself. The case, PBA Holdings, Inc., derivatively on behalf of Central Park Commerce Center Master Association, Inc. v. Matthew Prince, is Case No. 50-2026-CA-009198-XXXA-MB, assigned to Division AO of the 15th Judicial Circuit. The association is named as a nominal defendant, and the complaint states no relief is sought against it.
Ethan J. Loeb of Bartlett Loeb Hinds Thompson & Angelos in Tampa signed the filing. Enrique Tomeu, a PBA executive who also sits on the association board, verified the complaint under penalty of perjury.
The suit is separate from the 10-count lawsuit PBA filed Aug. 6 against WPB Logistics Owner, LLC, TPA Group, LLC, the association, Prince and others. In this filing, PBA states it seeks no recovery for itself and asserts no claim for its own injury. The single count seeks only Prince's removal under Section 617.08091 of the Florida Statutes, which lets a court remove a not-for-profit director in limited circumstances.
Central Park Commerce Center is the planned development along State Road 80 near 20-Mile Bend, beside Florida Power & Light's West County Energy Center. The association owns and maintains its common areas and has just two members: PBA and WPB Logistics.
That structure drives the lawsuit. WPB Logistics is the declarant and sole Class B member, holding three votes for every Class A vote and appointing two of the three board seats, according to the complaint. PBA appoints one and holds 25% of the voting power. The bylaws provide that declarant-appointed directors may only be removed by the declarant.
Prince is described in the filing as a Fulton County, Georgia, resident, a TPA Group director, the authorized principal of WPB Logistics, and the association's president and treasurer. The complaint alleges that combination left PBA with no way to remove him except through a judge.
The complaint alleges Prince used the association to oppose PBA's county master plan application while simultaneously clearing the way for WPB Logistics to pursue a data center on its own Phase 1 parcel. It alleges he signed a June 1, 2026, non-consent letter to the county attorney, retained outside counsel and lobbyists, and joined WPB Logistics in a June 5 injunction suit against PBA, all without a board meeting, vote, written consent or notice to Tomeu.
The lawsuit alleges the association's counsel formally opposed the application at the July 2 Zoning Commission hearing and the July 15 County Commission hearing, and that Prince lobbied commissioners privately beforehand. Commissioners denied the application July 15. The complaint says the association voluntarily dismissed its injunction claims three days later, which it alleges shows the association's participation served no purpose of its own.
Earlier allegations trace to March 2024, when the complaint says marketing materials surfaced advertising a "Central Park Data Center Campus" with 300 megawatts and a shared substation. Asked about them, Prince replied by email that it was "a flyer advertising the site we already own," according to the complaint, which alleges the advertisement misstated available power and land rights.
The filing alleges Prince engaged in fraudulent conduct, grossly abused his position and inflicted harm on the association. Those are allegations. No court has ruled on them.
PBA asks the court to remove Prince, bar him from reappointment for seven years, enjoin him from acting for the association pending final judgment, and award fees and costs. The relief sought is equitable, and no jury trial is demanded.
The filing reviewed by Boca Post does not include a response from either defendant.
