Legacy Legends condominium owners last week settled their construction defect claims against Pacific Properties and Development Corp. and Pacific Homes Inc. for $8.03 million.

Legacy Legends Homeowners Association sued the developers in July 1999, alleging the 264-unit development at Wigwam and Green Valley parkways in Henderson had defects including leaking windows and roofs and faulty electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems.

The insurers for the Pacific companies, which sued 22 subcontractors to be indemnified for damages, are paying $3.4 million of the settlement, said Scott Canepa, the plaintiffs' attorney.

The defendants' attorney could not be reached for comment on the settlement.
