RidgeView Place was ordered evacuated because of structural concerns
The company that owns the Langford residential highrise that was evacuated this week said Saturday it has hired a third-party structural engineering firm to understand how best to address and remediate concerns with the building.
The former Danbrook One building — now called RidgeView Place — has twice been evacuated in four years, first in December 2019 before Centurion acquired the building and the latest on Monday when an estimated 130 residents were told to leave due to seismic and structural concerns in the 11-storey building’s design and construction.
The company said its is distributing “unconditional” $2,500 payments to all residents, on top of refunded rents and deposits.Centurion said as of Saturday more than half of the additional cheques have been picked up.
