    MILLENIA Pte Ltd, the owner of Centennial Tower, has won its lawsuit against the skyscraper's designer and builder Dragages Singapore and cladding works sub-contractor Builders Shop over the building's granite cladding.

    The company had sued for breach of the deed of warranty and a settlement agreement. The breaches have caused Millenia to incur recladding costs and losses arising from the falling of a granite stone panel from the 35-storey skyscraper in Temasek Avenue in 2011.
