A Langford high-rise where ­tenants were evacuated in December 2019 after it was deemed structurally unsafe is listing suites for rent starting in May.

Toronto-based Centurion Asset Management Inc., which owns the 90-unit, 11-storey building formerly called Danbrook One, said “various structural systems” have been upgraded and the company is awaiting an occupancy permit from the City of Langford.

The company has listed the units as available by May 1, with rents ranging from $1,780 to $2,500 a month for one- to three-bedroom units.

Langford Mayor Stew Young said the permit is heading to city hall or has already arrived, and the city will grant it pending approvals by engineering professionals who have determined the structure is safe.

“Once they have double or triple checks from the engineers — their own and the engineering association — we can give them a permit,” Young said Thursday.

Centurion has changed the name of the building to ­RidgeView Place and changed the address from 2766 to 2770 Claude Rd.

The Toronto-based company did not provide details about what work has been done, but, in a statement, it said a final inspection by a team of engineers and architects involved in the project is being conducted to confirm that the structural flaws are rectified, followed by a further review of approvals by the City of Langford, at which point Centurion expects an occupancy permit to be issued.

Centurion added that the upgrades have been designed to “ensure the property will be able to withstand seismic ­activity in accordance with current best practices and standards in ­seismology and structural ­engineering.”
