The Pacific, a 39-storey luxury condominium tower in Downtown Vancouver, is the subject of a new lawsuit claiming an extensive array of defects across the building, according to a notice of civil claim filed last month.
Brought forward by the building's strata, the suit alleges that The Pacific, located at 889 Pacific Street, at the intersection of Hornby Street, has experienced nearly 80 different defects, ranging from water damage to cracking concrete to elevator doors closing with excessive force.
England-based Grosvenor served as the developer of the project through Hornby Pacific Limited Partnership, Hornby Pacific GP Limited, and Hornby BT Holdings Limited. The building was designed by Arcadis Architects (formerly IBI Group) and ACDF Architecture, constructed by Ledcor, with Aviva Canada and National Home Warranty Group serving as the warranty provider. Construction finished on the project in 2021...
.....Regarding the facade, balconies, and landscaping of the building, claims include defects to the metal cladding on the exterior, exposed insulation, chipping concrete, corrosion of structural steel posts on the roof, and a series of problems involving the unit balcony soffits — the underside of the balcony roof.
Alleged defects extended to the interiors as well, with the suit claiming the presence of windows that are inoperable, cracked glass, window walls with exposed aluminum brackets, damaged window frames, malfunctioning locking mechanisms for exterior doors, and scratched or damaged interior doors.
Common areas across the building also supposedly have a range of issues. According to the strata, the lobby desk countertop was inadequately installed, interior etched-glass walls are scratched, and concrete ramps in the parkade have supposedly seen "excessive cracking," while other below-grade areas have seen water ingress and water-staining.
Most critical, perhaps, are the claimed defects regarding the elevators, mechanical, and electrical systems of the building, where the strata alleges various components were improperly or inadequately installed...
