Another West Palm Problem With Newly Built Condos

In West Palm Beach, Florida, The Palm Beach Post reports:

• Cracked walls. Corroded pipes. Another abandoned home in foreclosure? Nope. It's the luxury condominium known as One City Plaza in downtown West Palm Beach, condo owners say. The building's condo association, fed up with what it claims are numerous building defects, has filed a nasty lawsuit against One City Plaza's developer, Kolter City Plaza Ltd. The association claims the upscale condominium is replete with defects including building code violations, design flaws and safety issues. How bad? Try water intrusion in the garage, roof and lobby; cracked walls in the garage, utility rooms and building exterior; and rusting metal roof trusses, according to the lawsuit, filed late last month in Palm Beach County Circuit Court.

• One City Plaza, among the first of the new condos to open downtown, was developed by Kolter, a Canadian concern. The luxury, 350-unit building has units ranging in price from $300,000 to more than $1 million.
