New data shows San Francisco’s Millennium Tower tilted an additional quarter of an inch during the week of the first test of the troubled fix -- the maximum level predicted by the designer of the $100 million project.
Since work began on the plan to shore up the tower on two sides in May, the building has sunk more than an inch at the northwest corner, which translates to another 5¾ inches of lean to the west toward Fremont Street. The sudden accelerated settlement led to a work stoppage in August and a test program for new construction strategies designed to stop more sinking and tilting during construction.
Last week, soon after crews installed the 100 foot long, three foot wide steel casing in the first test phase, Hamburger declared the test was “successful,” stressing that building movement over two days was approximately one hundredth of an inch.

DNC needs to buy it and use it as their HQ.
One should build his house on rock…..not bum crap. (Semi biblical reference)
Bidens “Build Back Better “ program in action, no doubt.

The bank put a lean on my house years ago — Oh, wait...
If a 645 foot sky scraper in San Francisco falls in the middle of the night, are there any squeals?
If they are biting the pillow hard enough, you can’t hear the squeals.
Yeah...it’s going.
It’s right in San Francisco.
There are probably 1,613,912 voters (all democrats) living in that building. I wonder ifg that has anything to do with it?
San Fransicko? The tower is obviously leaning to the left.
Absolutely correct - everyone goes bankrupt trying to fix the unfixable, and the taxpayer will have to pay the multi-millions needed to demolish it when it’s condemned.
