Owners of units in Sydney’s Opal Tower are seeking millions of dollars in compensation from Sydney Olympic Park Authority, a NSW State Government-controlled entity that owns the land in which the building sits.

 

The lawsuit claims a “breach of warranty”, and the $170 million apartment complex was not designed and constructed with “due care and skill”.

 

The claim states the tower was not reasonably fit for occupation, after it was evacuated on Christmas Eve when residents spotted cracks in the foundations.
