Construction in progress

At the early part of my project I posted a picture of the old Bank of Montreal. Since then the developers mad a decision to tear the building down a build something new. The far left shows the building just before they started to tear it down. The second shot shows the building coming down. It was a very long process as they tore it down one level at a time. Picture three shows it nearly all down and the last shot was take a few days ago as the new building is going up

guess that is what keeps the economy moving, eh.

[Maggiemae]

It seems such a waste of effort and resources! I expect it is the location that is important!

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Kim]

Seems a little wasteful doesn't it. Great collage though.

[Danette Thompson]

Very cool sequence.

[Nancy]

Interesting that you had done it in your series before...and you were able to capture this process and it is gone.

[Lisa]

Nice capture of time marching on in the name of progress?

[Sheila]

Wonderful collage!

[Mrs. Smith]

I don't always understand this...but I guess it's what they need to do. Great collage!

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Gee that happens everywhere.

[Jennifer C]

fabulous collage, that's progress I suppose

[John]

Wow

[❀ Lynn]

That's a lot of work...I wonder if they were salvaging as they took it down so that things could be reused.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great collage of the progress of the site. I wonder what the new building will be?

[Fisher Family]

Great collage, nicely tells the story!

Ian

[Shirley Banford]

Nicely done collage.

[bruni]

There you can see how much money those bank have assuming they own the building.so wasteful in a way. great collage showing the progression.

[Mary]

Good collage!

[Laura]

Great collage.

[Pam Hawkes]

Interesting captures of progress.

[Katie]

Wow! Neat series! Are you going to keep going until the new one is up?

[Rohini Gupta]

Fascinating to watch the progress. I suppose that is what cities are all about.

[Pyrrhula]

Great collage and series

[Hubregt Visser]

Nice story in a collage.

[eyeseeu (deb)]

Nice job.
It would have been much quicker to implode the building.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It doesn't seem like there was anything wrong with the old one, but who knows, maybe there was asbestos in the walls or something. Great collage- it really shows the transformation.

[KAL]

Great series in this collage and explanation! Very interesting all the planning and work something like .this takes

@lynnb I am not sure if they salvaged any of the parts or not

[bkb in the city]

@mittens I am not sure what the plans are for the new building. I guess I will have to wait to see

[bkb in the city]

@kathyladley Glad you enjoyed this one

[bkb in the city]

@glendq I guess that is one way to look at it

[bkb in the city]

@maggiemae It is probably the most sought after intersection downtown

[bkb in the city]

@kerristephens Thanks Kerri

[bkb in the city]
