Highrise Tower Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Demolition action shots! I've never seen a water sprayer that was attached to the end of the excavator. Usually there is a person holding a watering hose to spray. Very cool!! Window and glass assembly being taken out: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Demolition progress from yesterday. Looks to be about a quarter demolished. Apparently, before my mother's retirement, she used to hold meetings in this building. She was sad to hear about the demolition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TMC executive told me they have not finalized their plans and are not ready to go public yet. Most likely, temporarily, it will become revenue-generating parking. Either a surface parking lot or a parking garage. Demolition photos from yesterday: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted Wednesday at 10:33 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 10:33 AM Demolition progress from yesterday. There were rumors of TMC building a new parking garage. This would be the perfect site, and situation! However, the main TMC hospitals are further up on Main and Fannin. Not sure how a garage and Main and Holcombe would benefit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
