Sf's Millennium Tower Now Tilting More Than Ever To The West After Early Recovery
The Millennium Tower in San Francisco, infamous for its persistent sinking and leaning problems, is currently experiencing its most significant westward tilt to date. Despite attempts to stabilize the building through a $100 million repair plan and "freezing" measures, these efforts have proven unsuccessful, causing difficulties for residents and impacting the property's marketability. The tower's northwest corner, situated at Fremont and Mission streets, has witnessed a staggering tilt of over 29 inches, with much of the additional slant occurring during excavation work undertaken to reinforce the tower. Although initial progress was observed when the north side received support from six newly installed piles, recent rooftop-based monitoring data reveals that the tower is now tilting half an inch more towards the west compared to its pre-support state on the north side, contrasting its apparent stability on the Mission side.
