Champlain Towers North (built one year later):

FILE - This Thursday, June 24, 2021, file photo, shows a sister building of a condominium that partially collapsed earlier the same day, in Surfside, Fla. This building, erected a year later by the same company, using the same materials and a similar design, has faced the same tides and salty air as the building that collapsed.

Even if you wanted to leave...then what? Your value if you were to market it? Near zero?

The owners in the remaining condo building are between a rock and a hard place.

Stay and risk your life.

Leave and loose your investment. Who would buy from you?

Has the city inspected the remaining building? What is their assessment?

Given the loss of life in the first building, here will be lawsuits and liability. Can the city just turn a blind eye to the potential of identical problems occurring?

When the media says there are 150+ people still missing, that means those people are dead in the rubble. Imagine the liability to the deep pocket builders, the management company, the city, etc.

Maybe try to rent to reduce the financial impact. I’d make sure I talked to a liability lawyer first.

Did they make repairs to Champlain Towers North? If they did, then they have nothing to worry about. If the building is neglected, then yes, it will see a similar fate to the collapsed building.

Does this one need $9 million in repairs like the one that collapsed?

Well, I’ll bet they’ve got engineers looking at this right now. And they’re not going to take 3 years to come up with the money to make repairs, either.
