The buildings still being intact doesn't mean that much. If something is built well enough, it can last for centuries, barring something like an earthquake. Just look at the structures we still have from the era of the Roman Empire.

In Grimm Eclipse, while Port talks about Merlot Industries, which went bankrupt and ceased to exist shortly after the fall of Mountain Glenn, he states that it was well before Team RWBY's time, implying that the disaster of Mountain Glenn occurred possibly before they were born. Though, that's not saying much, since 3/4 of Team RWBY is 17 years old.
