Construction Lawsuit Settled for $5 Million

The Glen at Hillsborough Assn., which represents the owners of a 282-unit condominium complex in La Mirada, will receive $5 million in a settlement of its suit alleging construction defects, design flaws and code violations that the group claimed resulted in leaky roofs, decks and windows. The agreement settles the suit, filed in June 1997, against La Mirada Hills Development Co., a partnership of the William Lyon Co. and Chevron Land & Development Co., and various subcontractors. Without admitting any wrongdoing, the builder, subcontractors and insurance carriers contributed to the settlement.
