Demolition work to make way for Perth's first Topshop Topman store will be completed this week, with a grand total of 35 tenancies having been gutted to make way for the fashion retailer giant.

The $8 million store will be the equal-largest Topshop Topman in Australia at 2,200 square metres on par with the Brisbane store that opened earlier in December.

The last phase of demolition - removal of the Carillon Arcade balcony - commenced on Monday night.

Retailers were told it would take two to three nights to complete, with work done at night to prevent interference from heavy machinery noise and vibration from the breaking of the building's slab.

The project relocated 15 tenants into others stores, 10 stores were closed and 10 pop up shops were either moved or closed.

A Carillon City spokesperson said the development was on track to open in October 2014.

Rendering of back of new central county courthouse facing State Street in downtown San Diego. Preparation is underway for demolition of existing buildings.

All eyes were on Bob Filner last week as his criminal sentencing took place in San Diego Superior Court. Few people were aware that it also was a momentous week for the aging courthouse itself. Steps to replace the facility at 220 West Broadway were getting underway.

A 1.4-acre site a block away will become the home of a new 22-story courthouse slated to replace the old main courthouse, along with nearby family and probate court facilities and a Kearny Mesa small claims case trailer.

On Wednesday, tenants in three small office buildings that currently occupy that site were ordered to vacate, and a public parking lot was closed so demolition preparations can begin. Bounded by West C Street, Union Street, West B Street and State Street, the block was the longtime home of the King Stahlman Bail Bonds.

Superior Court Presiding Judge Robert Trentacosta, who on Dec. 9 announced Filners sentence, has been working with the state Administrative Office of the Courts and others on the new 71-courtroom high rise, to be equipped with state-of-the-art security and technology.

He called the current 1961 structure, which straddles an active seismic fault, antiquated and dilapidated.

Its a mess, said Judge Trentacosta. The heating, ventilation, water pipes, everything is breaking. Were hanging on until the new courthouse is built.

In fact, the day Trentacosta took over as presiding judge nearly two years ago, a pipe broke on the fifth floor that sent a water gushing into his third floor area. When the heating system broke down, they recently had to bring in portable boilers.

Sale of lease revenue bonds was completed last month. Groundbreaking on the $552 million project, paid for by court penalties, fees and fines, will be in March, and the new courthouse is slated to open in October of 2016.
