More Fallout to Toronto’s Falling Glass: $20 Million Lawsuit

In 2010 and 2011 two recently built condominium – the Murano Towers (731 units) and Festival Tower (378 units) literally rained down glass on the ground below. 13 panes of glass balcony railing released and fell.

Since then the glass from all those balcony units (somewhere short of 1000 units) has been removed and the owners forbidden from utilizing the space.

Yesterday the owners launched a $20 million dollar class action lawsuit. That’s about $18,000 per unit – to cover loss of use and to have the issue fixed in a timely manner.
