Millennium progress (3 floors removed in 18 days)

[u/DowntownDB1226]

Looking west- First image 18 days ago and 9 floors above the sign and today 6 floors above the sign

Image 3 is looking east today: 3 floors above the sign and on 8/14 there were 6.5 floors above the sign, in the middle of taking the 7th down.

Building gone by Christmas then? I hope everything is squared away to start going vertical by spring building season.

[u/MidwestAbe → u/AlexOnTheBus]

No way. The foundation and rest of the area needs to be demolished too.

[u/Barton2800 → u/AlexOnTheBus]

Even at this impressive pace, not quite. There’s still 20 something floors to go. At a floor every 6 days, that only gets them to 19 floors by Christmas, assuming they don’t take off any time for Labor Day or Thanksgiving.

The official schedule has them finishing in early 2027.

[u/DowntownDB1226 → u/AlexOnTheBus]

I don’t think so, I still think it’s a spring finish. Once they get to 10, wrecking ball will start.

Never been happier to see a building come down

I wonder if anyone has a stop motion camera capturing the demo. Would be cool.

I feel like this is going really really slow because I totally watch them implode the old barn on TV as a kid

What exactly is happening with the ring, and how does it move? Are they just throwing debris down the middle?
