Nova Scotia building collapse
May 24, 2022

Building under construction collapses in Bedford, N.S.

Nobody was injured after a building under construction in Bedford, N.S., collapsed Sunday afternoon.

The building, which will be the site of the future Larry Uteck Plaza on the corner of Larry Uteck Boulevard and Brookline Drive, had been under construction for about three weeks, according to developer Mori Salehi.

Salehi, of Larry Uteck Developments Ltd., told Global News Monday that nobody was on site when the building collapsed.

“I am so glad that nobody was hurt,” he said.

Larry Uteck Plaza, which will house commercial offices and retail businesses, is scheduled to open in the fall. The collapse will set the project back by about two to three weeks, Salehi said.

Salehi added the cause of the collapse is under investigation by the company, contractors and insurance. He said he’s confident that all rules and regulations were followed in the construction of the building.

The Department of Labour is also investigating, but a spokesperson said in an email that they do not have further updates as it is still early in the investigation.
