Beacon Sales/QXO Files Lien Suit Against Palm Greens Villa Del Ray

A building-materials supplier has filed a construction lien foreclosure complaint against the recreation tract at Palm Greens at Villa Del Ray, a 1,401-unit active-adult community in suburban Delray Beach whose recreation association is already reorganizing under Chapter 11. Beacon Sales Acquisition, doing business as QXO, filed the suit August 3 in Palm Beach County circuit court seeking $76,249.87 for roofing materials supplied on a re-roofing job covering seven buildings, work performed between July 2025 and April 2026.

Why it matters

A lien claim against a shared recreation tract, filed on top of an active Chapter 11, is the collision point South Florida GCs and restoration contractors are now underwriting for on aging condo work. Florida’s 2022 post-Surfside structural reserve mandate pushed thousands of associations into overdue roofing, milestone-inspection and restoration projects at once, and Palm Greens shows what happens when the bill outruns the association’s cash: the recreation association filed Chapter 11 in January with the community’s own residential associations and a homebuilder among its largest creditors, and a trade supplier is now separately moving to attach the clubhouse, pool and tennis-court parcel that secures the debt. For anyone bidding association roofing or restoration work in an older Palm Beach County community, the lesson is contractual, not dramatic: get payment and performance bonds or a properly perfected lien in place before mobilizing, because an association’s promise to pay does not survive a bankruptcy filing and a completed job is not the same as a paid one.

The numbers

The lien claim totals $76,249.87 for materials tied to seven re-roofed buildings. The recreation association’s Chapter 11, case 9:26-bk-11060, was filed January 28, 2026 in the Southern District of Florida with reported liabilities in the $10 million to $50 million range; press accounts of the filing put total claims near $43.7 million, with Lennar Homes holding the largest single claim at roughly $25 million. Palm Greens itself spans 1,401 units built between 1974 and 1983.

What’s next

The lien foreclosure suit, case 50-2026-CA-008670-XXXA-MB, now proceeds in Palm Beach County circuit court alongside the federal bankruptcy case, and the two will likely have to be reconciled since the automatic stay in Chapter 11 can affect how and when a lienholder can force a sale of association property. Watch the bankruptcy docket for how the recreation tract itself, as opposed to cash claims, gets treated in any reorganization plan, and watch for more trade creditors on the same roofing and restoration jobs to file their own liens before the plan is confirmed.
