The developer of a luxury condo project in Welland, Ont., has confirmed a collapse at a construction site for the second time in eight days.

In a release on Sunday, Evertrust Developments confirmed another potential setback happened Sunday following “partial structural damage” to a south tower initially reported to the Ministry of Labour (MOL) on Feb. 18.

“As Evertrust Developments awaits the MOL go-ahead to move forward with repairs on their Upper Vista Welland construction site … secondary damage occurred today within the same area,” the developer said.

“The rest of the building remains intact.”

The $55-million development is a canal-front condominium boasting some 200 units sold out in a five-storey building on Prince Charles Drive.

On Sunday, Welland Fire Services made another visit to the site following calls from concerned residents who heard another disturbance and witnessed more fragments detach from an already damaged area.

There were no injuries, according to the service.
