Walt Disney Concert Hall Lawsuit Settled

That was close Mr.Frank Gehry.

That deal was reached last year, but took another year to finalize between attorneys for the 18 litigants involved in the case. Disney Concert Hall will pay $13.3 million to contractors from building and donor funds.

“The structure, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, opened six years late and more than $174 million over budget. The building’s final cost, including monies paid out in this most recent settlement, total in the vicinity of $284 million.” – ArchitectureMag

“Although Gehry’s firm was not a party in the suit, the builders criticized the architect’s work—including a leaky skylight and problems with the cooling system—during court proceedings. Gehry’s insurance policy became a part of the settlement because the Disney Hall corporation was included in its coverage.” – Los Angeles Times
