@ctvnewsvi: The problem-plagued high rise apartment building Ridgeview Place is set to be destroyed just seven years after welcoming its first tenants. The 11-storey building previously known as Danbrook One has sat empty since its latest evacuation in April 2023, when significant structural deficiencies had been identified. #FYP #vancouverislandnews #vancouverislandbc #ctvnewsvancouverisland #vancouverisland #langfordbc #langford #ridgeview #victoriabc #apartmentbuilding #localnews #victorianews #deconstruction #buildingsafety

The scary thing is they are building things so poorly they can’t even stay up they must be nowhere near earthquake safe

Sue the developer. They took shortcuts to pocket profits. Corporate greed put homeowners at risk.

They need to look at the inspectors who signed off on this building. No way a high-rise in Canada should have ever been this bad. Gotta be some bribes going on.

I pulled out a tenants car at his request when I worked as a towtruck driver, I can’t remember all of the details but I do believe the bottom concrete slab is half as thick as it should be, meaning it wasn’t up to code for the size and weight of the building
