From Niagara 411 on Facebook

Evertrust Developments have officially received a permit to complete remedial work of the partially demolished area of Upper Vista Welland at 350 Prince Charles Drive from City of Welland Planning and Building Division.

With an unwavering commitment to the Upper Vista Welland project, the community and the Niagara Region, Evertrust acknowledges the receipt of a full rebuild construction permit to complete Upper Vista Welland was an achievement made in unprecedented timelines due to the exhaustive work and commitment of many professionals and regulatory bodies dedicated to resolving issues with an optimal reconstruction strategy.

The work to complete the permitting included the specialized expertise of renowned engineers CEP Forensics engaged by Evertrust in addition to the City of Welland’s own structural engineering team Kalos Engineering Inc., who both conducted a comprehensive review of the entire structure.

Evertrust Developments is excited to announce to the public that the official Building Permit from the City of Welland was received on December 13, 2023 that puts a 3 phase action plan into high gear which includes: deconstruction, replacement and final construction of Upper Vista Welland.

On site Project Manager for Construction Management who is spearheading the development called this a “momentous breakthrough for the building’s progress that puts the project back on track and will produce the highest quality building for all purchasers.”

Cleanup on site continues as the team now coordinates all trades for mobilization starting with structural and moving to main systems, electrical, mechanical and finishing crews.
The building of the luxury condos in Welland was well underway when partial structural damage incidents in February 2023 temporarily shut down the site for safety and investigative purposes.

This landmark construction permit is a fundamental step towards completion of the luxury boutique condominium with occupancy anticipated by spring of 2025.
With this significant indicator of progress, Evertrust Developments looks forward to continuing their legacy of developing quality lifestyle living and becoming a valued part of the community with Upper Vista Welland.
 
Only a sucker would buy from this developer. The "luxury" one in Niagara Falls is endless headaches for condo owners with a steep bill to fix all of the problems.
 
We purchased a semi-detached condominium home in Bracebridge from Evertrust. In the past month and a half, we have identified multiple violations of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and significant safety hazards within our home, all verified by third party engineers. These defects are indicative of extremely poor workmanship and a blatant disregard for safety standards.

Despite providing the builder with clear photographic and video evidence of these violations, they have continued to deny any wrongdoing. These safety breaches are not isolated to our home alone but extend to at least 14 other homes within the same development. The continued construction and sale of homes under such conditions demonstrate a pattern of negligence and a willful endangerment of homeowners. Given the severity of these infractions, we firmly believe that the builder’s conduct warrants regulatory action, including the suspension of the builder’s license. Furthermore, it appears that the builder, led by its owner, Ted Zhou, is utilizing legal tactics to intimidate and silence unsuspecting buyers who placed their trust in the company’s promise of delivering quality homes. This conduct is not only unethical but also raises serious legal and regulatory concerns.

As a young family, we now find ourselves in the position of having to fight against the system—the Town of Bracebridge, the builder, and the regulatory authorities—to assert our rights and seek the justice we deserve. Instead of enjoying the safety and security of our new home, we are forced to navigate a legal and bureaucratic battle to ensure that the builder is held accountable for these severe breaches. I would strongly recommend that YOU DO NOT BUY from this company. Do you research, as this company uses poor workmanship skills and outsources their construction to the cheapest quality labour.

The south wing of the building had partially collapsed TWICE. That engineer should have his license revoked. People could have died.

They should have had to tear down the entire south wing and start from scratch.

You couldn't pay me to live here! 😳
I feel really bad for anyone that purchased a unit.
(N)Evertrust Development are clearly unscrupulous developers.
