That’s equivalent to how much the building has sunk since the so-called fix began. He says the work could result in as much as two inches of additional settlement. A nearly forgotten underground wall could prove a serious obstacle to reversing the tilt of the Millennium Tower, a major goal of the 100 million fix for the troubled San Francisco high rise. Pyke says he’s concerned that digging down 25 feet and removing dirt on two sides of the structure – where it currently is leaning the most – will mean the loss of earth that is currently buttressing the existing foundation.

MILLENNIUM TOWER PATCH

Millennium fix designer Ron Hamburger has indicated the building is expected to tilt a little more by the time work is done, but experts fear the new digging to make way for an expanded foundation could make the building sink and tilt more than anticipated. Millennium Tower (, Mireniamu Taw) is a skyscraper/office tower located in Kamurocho, being its largest building. The development is comprised of a modern 60-story high-rise tower with condos and a 12-story tower with open loft-style homes. Get the NBC Bay Area app for iOS or Android and pick your alerts.
