Yesterday, only the building's facade remained standing. As of this morning its gone. I apologize that I don't have a photo.

Ahh thanks for the heads up. I'll try to get down there in a little bit.

And the nondescript building is no more.

The Apple Store in New York - the vast majority of which is underground - was recently named the 52nd "best loved" building in a poll of the America Institute of Architects.

does anybody with decent knowledge of construction practices know if they would be reusing that concrete mat?

Here's a blog devoted to the construction of the new Apple store. It features a live webcam of the building site.

Interesting!

Interesting - how did that graffiti get on that wall in the second photo? Did it pre-date the building next door?

No, it was freshly added. If you notice in the earlier pictures it's not there, but in the latter pictures it is.

Why???

Why is this still an empty lot????

Christmas 2008 is getting closer and closer by the day ...

Although not much visually has changed here (or at the Clarendon either), they are working on it.

Thanks for all the updated pics, kz. I'm looking forward to seeing how this Apple Store will look.

6/22:

And today:

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few months, then you're undoubtedly aware that at 6 PM today, June 29th 2007, the new iPhones went on sale. Here's some documentation of what Apple does to people:

2:28 this afternoon, and four people are outside the AT&T outlet on Washington St, across from School St

by 5:35 the line extended off to infinity

Same thing with the store at Washington and Bromfield

6:01, and the doors are open! WHOOP-DE-FRIGGIN-DOOOOOOOOO! THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER I'LL SELL ONE ON EBAY FOR $2 MILLION YIPPE KI YAY MOTHAFUCKA! :roll:
