Major demolition is now 55% completed. The plaza surface surrounding the pagoda has been removed exposing the original and historic base and clearing the way for Pagoda scaffolding in the future. All the previous plaza features have been removed and about half the finishes to slab. We also successfully completed two of four scheduled dates of night work (see notice).
The final two dates scheduled for night work are:
- July 23, 2024 – Concrete Demolition and possibly some Hot Fluid Waterproofing
- July 29, 2024 – Hot Fluid Waterproofing
Major demolition is expected to continue through the end of August. The public will soon be directed through protected paths at the plaza from the mall entrances to Post Street. These detours will allow for demolition of the existing paths to the mall entrances
Remember! Japan Center Malls remain open throughout the construction duration. Please be aware of the following pedestrian detours:
- Access from Geary Boulevard – Detour to both East Mall and West Mall through the Geary Boulevard parking garage
- Access from Post Street – Enter through existing fenced paths near the buildings to East Mall and West Mall
- SIDEWALK CLOSED on the north side of Geary Boulevard from Laguna Street to Buchanan Street (mid-block crosswalk).
