Municipal officials in Fort McMurray are ordering the owners of a condemned condominium complex to tear it down.

The entire seven-building Penhorwood Apartments was evacuated in the middle of the night in March 2011 due to structural concerns.

The complex was only seven years old at the time.

The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo's safety codes manager says in a statement that the current condition of the buildings means they need to come down as soon as possible.
