BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The condominium association at Akoya at Boca West Country Club has filed a sweeping lawsuit against the developer, general contractors, architect, engineers, and more than two dozen subcontractors, alleging widespread construction defects at the luxury high-rise community on Boca West Drive. The complaint, filed May 7 in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, names Siemens Development, LLC — which did business as Akoya Associates — as the primary developer, along with Kast Construction Company as general contractor, and seeks damages in excess of $50,000.
The lawsuit, filed by Ball Janik LLP on behalf of the Akoya at Boca West Country Club Condominium Association, alleges defects are “systemic” and exist throughout the three-building, 113-unit community located at 20155 Boca West Drive. The complaint describes problems across virtually every major building system, including the roof, balconies, sliding glass doors, stucco, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and fire protection systems. Among the specific defects listed: water intrusion into units, cracked and spalling concrete, delaminating balcony tiles, inadequate roof drainage, faulty sliding glass doors, and corroded fire sprinkler heads.
Attorneys allege the defendants failed to build the community in compliance with the Florida Building Code, manufacturers’ specifications, and professional standards. The association is pursuing claims of negligence, professional negligence, breach of implied warranties, breach of statutory warranties under Florida’s condominium law, and Florida Building Code violations against each named party. The complaint states the defects were latent — not reasonably discoverable without expert inspection — and were only uncovered after the association retained outside consultants.
The lawsuit names 28 defendants in total, including architect of record GS4 Studios (Garcia Stromberg Holdings), structural engineer O’Donnell, Naccarato, Mignogna & Jackson, and a long list of subcontractors responsible for work ranging from roofing and stucco to windows, elevators, and fire suppression systems. A demand for jury trial was included in the filing. The defendants had not filed a response to the suit as of Saturday morning.
