Demolition Continues

Brick by brick the loggia columns are coming down. Our demolition/construction crew has been hard at work since the pyramids came down strategically removing the columns that held them up and cleaning up the debris. Check back next week for more demolition pictures and excitement as the last column comes down.

Now the real demolition begins

If you've driven past the City Center lately you might have noticed that bricks have been coming down... slowly but surely. Yesterday the real work began when each of the 9 copper pyramids on the roof of the loggia were removed. The pictures to the right were taken by City Center Staff Members. The Saratogian also caught the action.

Loggia Demolition Update

Quick update... the Pyramids on top of the loggia are expected to start coming down on Monday. While we wait for that to happen the crew is building a new/temporary handicap accessible ramp.

Demolition is actually happening!

Fencing was put in place at the end of last week and the digging up of the sidewalk started this morning!

Large green and white signs are in place on the fence and the building pointing to the entry. It might be a little confusing for a while, but staff will be around to direct you to the right place.

Ground Breaking

The ground breaking ceremony took place this morning. Mike Toohey, Chairman of the City Center Authority, Mayor Johnson, Former Senator Bruno and Mark Baker, President of the City Center all gave speeches to commemorate the event. The highlight of the morning's festivities however was the actual ground breaking done by children from the community. Pictures of the event will come soon!


The next step is the demolition, scheduled to start bright and early tomorrow morning, the 15th.
