KUALA LUMPUR: Magna Prima Bhd, which markets The Avare at the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, is facing a RM25mil suit citing defects and poor workmanship at the super luxury condominium.

The property developer told Bursa Malaysia that Dr Adam Victor and 23 others filed a suit in the High Court against it and subsidiary Embassy Court Sdn Bhd (ECSB) for “poor and defective façade design, low quality material, poor workmanship, failure to fully rectify the defect in the parcel and common property, structurally unsound construction and breach of the implied term to build and deliver a six-star luxurious condominium.”
