Disney Settles with Contractors Over L.A. Concert Hall Overruns
Engineering News-Record
By Tony Illia
A settlement was reached last month on construction cost overruns at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, three years after
General contractor M.A. Mortenson Co., Minneapolis, filed suit one month after the hall’s opening in October 2003, claiming that it and 10 subcontractors were owed $43.3 million because of design changes that resulted in delays and project overruns. The 293,000-sq-ft building, designed by Gehry Partners LLP, Los Angeles, finished six years late and $174 million over budget. The total tab came to $274 million.
NoLandGrab: Please don't tell us that this presages a 2017 tip-off for the Nets and an $11-billion tab for the entire project.
