The southeast corner of 100 South and Main Street may look like an explosion has blown out what used to be a high-end jewelry store. But the demolition is making way for the newest additions to the downtown Salt Lake skyline.

SALT LAKE CITY To passers-by at the southeast corner of 100 South and Main Street, it may look like an explosion has blown out what used to be a high-end jewelry store and a small bank branch.
However, it's the demolition of an old retail property that is making way for an addition to the downtown skyline.
Last week, City Creek Reserve a real estate arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that it had taken over as developer of the 111 Main Street project.
Initially under development by Hamilton Partners, the 111 Main Office Tower a 24-story office building will be adjacent to the planned Utah Performing Arts Center in the downtown central business district.
Site preparation work is underway, including the aforementioned demolition. Few details about the transaction were released, and both City Creek Reserve and Hamilton Partners have declined comment, but the project is expected to continue on a similar construction schedule as originally announced several months ago with completion planned for September 2016.
The ground floor of the project will feature retail space, while the upper floors will offer more than 400,000 square feet of office area, with the average floor size consisting of column-free design, floor-to-ceiling glass, with 9-foot ceilings and 16-inch raised floors throughout in 21,000-square-foot customizable sections.
Preliminary design features include seismic engineering standards and increased energy conservation measures, along with redundant data and electric feeds from independent substations, voice and data lines with fiber-optic capabilities and a location for tenant generators. The building will also offer state-of-the-art and customizable security systems with turnstiles and 24-hour manned security.

Demolition underway on major downtown office tower, theater project
DESPITE the residents and village officials efforts to stop it, the demolition of the structures of 157 families living in Sitio San Miguel, Barangay Apas, Cebu City pushed through yesterday.
A team began tearing down the houses after Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 9 Judge Alexander Acosta and Municipal Trial Court in Cities Branch 6 Judge Pamela Baring-Uy denied separate motions for a temporary restraining order (TRO).
The motions for TRO that the courts denied had been filed by City Hall lawyers and the camp of Ben Militar, who represents at least 39 of the 157 affected families.
Another motion for a TRO was also filed yesterday before the RTC by Feliciano Payot, the legal counsel of majority of the affected families, but the court has yet to act on it.
Around 2 p.m., a demolition team hired by Aletha Suico-Magat started to tear down the houses. Suico-Magat is the owner of the property where the families live.
The team dismantled two of the 157 structures, in the presence of 50 policemen and 15 members of the Special Weapons and Tactics team, who were there to ensure the demolition stayed peaceful.
Tension rose once the demolition team started to knock down the houses, since the residents tried to stop them, considering the court has not acted yet on the motion filed by Atty. Payot.
To appease the crowd, Apas Barangay Captain Ramil Ayuman went to the site and met with court sheriff Edilberto Suarin and some of the demolition team.
He appealed to them to stop the demolition, considering also that it was already 3 p.m.
They granted Ayumans request but added that the demolition will continue at 8:30 a.m. today.

Demolition starts
MANITOWOC, Wis. (WFRV) - Today demolition started on a lakeshore eyesore.
"When the windows came out I saw so many people pulling over to take pictures of it because everybody knows somebody who used to work here way back in the day" says Ryan Witkauskis, a longtime Manitowoc resident.
For more than a decade the one million square foot building reminded the community of lost jobs.
"It has been an eye sore" says Michelle Olson another resident.
The toll it took was not only emotional.
"It is a safety concern, it is a health concern because of the asbestos that was in there" explains Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels.
Valuable materials, including wood, steel and bricks have been removed to help offset the demolition costs, estimated at more than $6 million.
"The city has wanted to see one of those buildings down for a long time" says Eric J. Spirtas, who owns the dilapidated building.
The building has been vacant since 2003 and while it takes up a large footprint in the city of Manitowoc, the city sees very little tax benefit.
According to Mayor Nickels "To get something in its place is a win win no matter what it is"

Demolition starts on former Mirro building in Manitowoc
Demolition has begun on the exterior of some iconic buildings on Tennessee's campus.
Heavy equipment started tearing down Stokely Athletics Center and Gibbs Hall this week. The demolition will make room for a new residence hall among other plans.
The new residence hall will then be built close to the current Gibbs Hall location and open to students in the summer 2016. It will have 729 single-occupancy rooms with shared living areas. The 33,000-square-foot residence hall will be open to male and female students. The hall's dining facility will be open to all students, faculty, and staff. The $94 million project will be financed through student housing fees and revenue bonds.
Expanding Haslam Field is the third phase of the project, with a completion date of 2016. Once completed, the facility will have three full-size exterior grass outdoor practice fields along with the nearby indoor full-size practice field. This project is estimated to cost $10 million and will be funded solely by a private donor.
Built in 1958, Stokely Athletic Center closed its doors for good in December 2012. Memorabilia from its decades as home of the Volunteer men's and women's basketball teams is stored in other areas of campus. Gibbs Hall, which was built in 1963, closed to residents last spring. The dining hall portion of the building closed in December.
More of the plan includes: Tearing down North Carrick, South Carrick, Humes, Reese, Morrill and the Apartment Residence Hall and replacing them with three to four level buildings in a village-style community. They also plan to add a new dining facility.
Right now, the university is seeking approval from the Board of Trustees and the State Building Commission to add these six buildings to an already approved plan to demolish and rebuild Shelbourne Towers.
The university has an aggressive timeline. They want to have it all finished in five years by 2019.
