The Castro firm litigated a 104 unit condominium project in Malibu. The development and conversion was permitted by compliance with numerous grading conditions and coastal commission reports. An ancient landslide beneath the Seagull Way condominium project in Malibu was never corrected before selling the condominiums. The soils beneath the project were unstable and subsiding, causing property damage to the condominium uinits and common areas. Castro & Associates sued the developer and soils engineer securing a multi-million dollar recovery that included stabilizing the project and roadway with caissons to bedrock penetrating beneath the ancient landslide plane.
