Let The Demolition Begin!

The long political and architectural process is over, and now the real work begins! City building permits indicate that tearing down the existing building will cost Apple $200,000, along with the $25,000 it cost to strip and prepare the building. Apple is also paying Shawmut Design and Construction another $200,000 for construction management services, city records say. Once demolition is complete, store construction will begin immediately, a condition of the city's building permit so the space wouldn't stay vacant for several months.
