Demolition of the Harmon, a 26-story Las Vegas hotel that was supposed to be one of the gems of the CityCenter mega-development, is set to begin in two weeks.

The Harmon was part of the $8.5-billion CityCenter, a glitzy hotel, retail and restaurant complex on the Las Vegas Strip that opened in December 2009. But the Harmon, with its striking blue glass exterior, never opened, the victim of construction issues.

Legal troubles ensued. MGM Resorts International, a co-owner,argued in court that construction errors were so serious that the building could collapse during a major earthquake.

Earlier this year, a judge granted permission for the tower to be taken down.

That demolition work won't include imploding the hotel, as has been done with other Vegas hotels. The Harmon is close enough to other buildings, including Crystalsshopping center, that experts decided against that.

Instead, it is being dismantled floor-by-floor from the top down. It is expected to be gone by May.

The tower has been wrapped in netting intended to protect passersby on the adjacent sidewalk along Las Vegas Boulevard during the demolition work.

What will take the place of the Harmon apparently has yet to be decided.

It is a small piece of land on a very busy corner here in Las Vegas, said Gordon Absher, MGM Resorts vice president of public affairs. Right now we are focused on removing this building, and there no plans that I am aware of.

The Harmon was originally to have risen 49 floors as a showpiece of CityCenter, which opened just as Nevada was entering the depths of the recession. The 4,000-room Aria Resort & Casino along with the Mandarin Oriental (with fewer than 400 rooms) and the all-suite 57-story Vdara opened within a month of one another, but the Harmon stayed shuttered.

WORK on Goondiwindis new $6m community centre is well underway.

The Civic Centre 1938.

G & K Lawson and Burke Industries Pty Ltd will undertake demolition works on site at 100 Marshall Street Goondiwindi over the next few weeks.

This work includes the demolition and removal of material from the old Council offices whilst maintaining the heritage-listed faade and the historical clock tower.

The public toilets will also be closed from Tuesday, October 72014 so alternative facilities at the tourist information centre - Mclean Street, Town Park Marshall Street, boat ramp Marshall Street and Apex Park Macintyre Street will need to be utilised.

It is not anticipated that pedestrians or traffic will be impacted; however warning and directional signage will be in place during the works. All signage should be adhered to, to ensure public safety. Normal construction industry hours of work will apply including some Saturday work.

Council is fully aware that this process will involve certain inconveniences. Unfortunately, these inconveniences simply cant be avoided as they are a part of change and renewal and Council asks that residents are patient with the process.

The long term benefits far out way the short term pain, Mayor Graeme Scheu explained today.

Demolition work begins

At least two people were reported injured as violence marred a demolition of houses near a creek in Mandaue City in Cebu Tuesday morning.

The demolition occurred at Sitio Mahayag in Barangay Subangdako in Mandaue City, GMA Cebu's Vic Serna reported.

Many of the residents had prayed the day would never come, but banded together to block the demolition team.

At first, the residents engaged the demolition team in a debate on the legalities of the demolition work.

But after a briefing, the demolition team returned with a fire truck as backup.

Hell then broke loose as stones and bottles were thrown while water cannons were trained on the barricades.

Injured in the violence were Elma Remedio and Elfie Cabaltera.

Carlo Ybanez of the city legal office said the demolition team exercised maximum tolerance.

Meanwhile, the Housing Development Office denied it did not give financial assistance to the affected families. The residents were to be relocated to a 6.5-hectare site in Barangay Paknaan in Mandaue City.

Some 153 houses at Sitio Mahayag were within the three-meter easement zone and were to be demolished. The first to be demolished was the house of association president Teopoldo Ybanez. Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News

Even before the first shovelful of dirt was turned, a 900-foot-long, nine-story project along Boca Raton's main thoroughfare had spawned two lawsuits, one judicial appeal and even a new state law.

But Tuesday, the residential complex came closer to reality when two excavators flattened law offices and a strip of stores.

It's all to make way for Palmetto Promenade, formerly known Archstone Palmetto Park 378 rental apartments situated near the southeast corner of Northeast Third Avenue and Palmetto Park.

"This is fantastic," said Bill Martin, a 15-year Boca resident who was passing by. "Great location."

The sight of orange tiles being ripped off the roof of the law offices stopped Martin during his morning bike ride. "I wish I owned it," he said.

Palmetto Promenade will be the fourth residential housing project to start building in downtown Boca in the past 20 months. It's part of a 1,700-unit residential boom either expected to be built, being built, or just completed.

"Out of all the projects under construction or planned, this project will truly bring about a renaissance and resurgence of activity and prosperity on Palmetto Park Road," said Mark Guzzetta, a key developer on the project. "It will benefit the land values of all the neighbors in the downtown."

Since 2012, nothing sparked controversy quite so much as Palmetto Promenade, when it was known as Archstone, though.

The neighboring single-family home association said the plan was too dense, with some apartments at 700 square feet, and would bring too much traffic to the wrong place.

Citizens in the Golden Triangle Neighborhood filed a lawsuit against an amendment to city codes that allowed the project and briefly won the right to ask for a citywide referendum on it. But the city joined with the developer in appealing that decision.

Demolition starts in Boca to make way for apartment building

NORTH AURORA Village trustees at Mondays Committee of the Whole meeting moved ahead with the demolition of the North Aurora Activity Center.

Trustees in May decided the North Aurora Activity Center at 1 N. Lincolnway was not worth saving. The Activity Center has been closed since March 12 because of structural damage.

Kluber Architects and Engineers presented three different options for demolition. After debating the issue, trustees opted Monday for the cheapest option, which would involve removing the building for an estimated $475,773. The east and south parking lots would remain.

The cost includes asbestos abatement, removal of an underground fuel storage tank, removal of the dirt/sand playground on the south end of the property and keeping the parking area on the north end of the site.

A portion of the funding would come from the insurance money received for the villages property loss $68,763 as well as funds from the closeout of the North Aurora Activity Center fund $92,0002. Other funds would come from reserves in the villages capital projects fund.

As proposed, the North Aurora Activity Center would be demolished by February or March.

Batavia-based Kluber Architects and Engineers in a report had determined there are three sections of the building where the roof joists have failed because they were stressed beyond their maximum designed capacities.

According to the report, the damage to the joists was caused by a combination of the framing not being properly designed for dead and live loads [the building was constructed in the 1930s] and the high snowfall experienced this past season where cold temperatures did not allow for normal periodic melting, Village Administrator Steve Bosco had said.

Adding supports to all of the joists in the affected areas as recommended by Kluber was estimated to cost $219,862, of which the villages insurance company would provide $103,146 in loss contribution.

The villages total out-of-pocket costs would be about $116,715, Bosco said.
