- Homeowners in a luxury San Francisco high rise are furious over their sinking investment. The 58-story Millennium Tower has reportedly sunk 16 inches since its completion in 2009. Carter Evans reports.
In San Francisco not even the buildings are straight

@@Sluicey lol how do you know he wouldn't say what he just said? Maybe you would love to live a glorified appartment building, but maybe other people would hate it. Maybe people like me and that guy would like to live in the middle of nowhere, spend 2 million dollars and have a couple hundred acres. Just maybe not everyone thinks like you, and doesnt want the same things you do.
Mephistopheles that’s what I’m saying! I’m go to a yeehawww state and buy myself a huge property
So this building could collapse at any time ,but everyone is carrying on as normal , nothing to see here ,
Just an update, residents are receiving large payouts, it’s sunk 18 inches now but contractors will retrofit perimeter pylons.
Thank you
Thanks!
So the rich are getting richer
We require additional pylons
Ahh, those Starcraft vibes.

It’s not a “commiefornia” thing, we do this everywhere. The entire gulf region, which btw is Republican, is built on swamps and wetlands (which hurt Dallas a lot in the hurricane, since the wetlands were destroyed, and those used to break up the storms).NYC is built on filled in coast. The Netherlands is like 50% filled in land.
Pink Man wow the joke went right over your head
Amen! My book says the same!
Pink Man why does this have to do with anything
Sure lol but the bible uses it as a metaphor for your soul lol not just homes
Building isn't straight and leans left. Yup, that about sums up San Francisco!
Best comment award!
Omfg savage
Lol dammm i get the joke lol
Nearly choked on a sip of coffee when I saw that comment haha!
Perfect comment!
$2.1m for an appartment with a view....clearly more money than sense
If you have the money. Then why not?
I mean the apartment only gets value so🤷🏻♂️
Poor people criticizing rich people on their spending habits. lul
Oscar Ledezma because it’s unstable and sinking and leaning
$2.1m to some is $21k to others...
Imagine buying an APARTMENT for millions instead of a house
Edit: Y’all talking about it’s the people’s opinions/ choices when the comment is my opinion..
HAHAHA
There's a tradeoff between size and location. I'd prefer an apartment in a downtown area over a mansion in the middle of nowhere anyday
Houses in San Francisco are the most likely more money than an apartment. Land is scarce and prices high.
In most urban metropolitan cities (New York, Chicago,San Fran, London, Paris, etc...) all have apartments worth millions. Your point is?
Because your apartment is in the wonderful city of San Francisco. Real estate is location location location. Add bonus $ if it’s spacious and well designed too.
Hilarious, let’s build a city on a sandy hill, next to the ocean, in a fault zone. Then, we’ll complain when our buildings fall over.
🤣
IKR 😂🤣😂
You gotta love the fool's, lol
Didn’t learn from the 1906 earthquake, did they?
Murica!!!!

So 2.1 million for a coffin with a view??
Lol
😭😭😭
I feel really bad for all these struggling rich folk.
Alec Parker if only they knew the struggles of check to check
Alec Parker, stop whining and go make some money and be rich if you think it’s so easy.
MP3 he never said anything about that
@@MP-ef6mc You think people can just get rich by working? A lot of people save money their entire lives and don't make enough to afford one of these apartments, even with good paying jobs. Basically the only way to become rich is to be born into a rich family or get really lucky with the lottery, stock market or investments. It's basically all about luck, skill doesn't cut it.
Dylan Zane, evidently you have never worked years and years to actually build wealth, keep buying your new cars every couple years and not consistently investing and it sounds like it will and is working out for you. You can be independently wealthy but it takes tons of hard work and tons of self control and you must learn the word NO to lots of things you want. No big deal to me you keep working your plan and it will turn out how you make it turn out.
Why do most new buildings seem like they were made hastily and with crappy materials and design?
Because they are
Capitalism
Capitalism combined with frivolous spenders. People are dumb, and will spend their money stupidly. No one forced them to buy it, but they did.
California - right to work state
Look how fast they come up
Just imagine paying 2.1 Million Dollars for a apartment that’s sinking.
Yeah, can't imagine that sinking feeling in your gut after that purchase.
@andrew or if the building sinks entirely, they might as well just have a burial right then and there.
And in a city vulnerable to huge earthquakes
It shows that people with money don't always have brains.
Even if its not sinking. You are missing alot of things. As example no parking space and no garden

@@PInk77W1 The world is entering a period of Global Cooling where we can expect more earthquakes and volcanoes over the next several decades. During the Maunder Minimum the sun radiated less heat. Wheat prices rose as much as 400% in the UK. In 1709 during the Big Freeze the price of food in Europe rose 600%.
But Dr Valentina Zarkhova has noticed that more significant than the slight global cooling is the reduction of the sun's magnetosphere. This allows more cosmic rays (nuclear particles from distant decaying stars) to strike the earth. The New Madrid fault had a major quake on 12-25-1699 during the Maunder Minimum. During the Dalton Minimum (1793-1833), the New Madrid fault had 4 quakes on 3 days in 1811-1812.
Japanese scientists also noted an increase in the number of volcanoes during a Grand Solar Minimum. The likely cause of the increase in both quakes and volcanoes is the increased number of cosmic rays energizing the earth.
In 1709 three volcanoes erupted in Europe spewing so much ash into the atmosphere that sunshine was blocked sufficiently to cause the Big Freeze. The ground was frozen to a depth of one meter or about 40 inches. Food prices in France rose 650%. Such an event today would trigger great violence both between and within nations killing hundreds of millions if not billions.
I would advise moving out of the US West Coast and the New Madrid fault area from St Louis to Memphis. Food will become a serious issue. It might not be available even after the price doubles and triples. I believe America will have Nationwide Food Riots when we face GSM induced food shortages worldwide and Hyperinfaltion from the collapse of the US Dollar within the next few years.
That $20 an hour after taxes job will be paying $8 an hour which will be such a shock that we might see a Civil War II.
You will need to move out of all US cities before the physical scarcity of food and Hyperinfaltion makes it impossible for the poorest 150 million Americans to eat regular meals. You will need to live with a network of friends and have reliable local food sources.

AND SIZE MATTERS !
Says "Bob Johnson" 🤭
underrated comment.
Based on Wikipedia, the building had a large “pop” sound and some cracked windows. The foundation has damage.
Seems the building has given its warnings, but nobody is heeding them.
🤷♂️Oh well, as long as it is not our money WHO CARES. 🤷♂️🙂
The next time we hear about that building on the news is when it falls over!

I want it to fall on me

In a wealthy conservative logic, couldn't they just move out???
Shut up lol
@@Kodos2024 Money doesn't just grow on trees.
@@ct-tw2ge Hahahahaha
When I read about this some years ago, the article mentioned that the building was erected on an old landfill and that a person working in the UK space program is the one who discovered the building was moving by noticing it on satellite imagery. It was reported to be moving and sinking several inches per year.
Who in their right mind would buy any apartment for 1 million dollars +. Those tax breaks really doing good for the rich. Crazy
Everything in a downtown area is 10x normal price. It's simple supply and demand.
Same way people buy $800 plus phones and $100 plus shoes while they make minimum wage.
In singapore 1 million would get you a 1 bedroom studio apartment in the outskirts. We dont speak broke though.

The builder paid off the government criminals for clearance and then went ahead and built what is de facto a floating building. If it doesn't topple over on its own, it will topple over during the next earthquake.

So scary to think what happened in Florida can also happen in San Francisco as well 😪. But management only cares about profit and can care less for human lives.
If it's leaning toward the Pacific, they can charge more rent since it's closer to the beach.

This probably is the first warning signs of the San Andreas

Without corrupt payoffs....there's no way a high rise could be built without anchoring in bedrock.
Seriously
When you buy a second floor but it's actually the first floor
Why would you want to live in a sinking glass flat for millions, when you could by a nice house, without any neighbours for the same or less money!
Gentrification experts are the reason
San Andreas fault has been winding up the last 110 years... sad to say but when that finally shifts this building probably won't make it...
Just imagine when sciencey peeps go down where California is after the earthquake, and they find this gay building perfectly intact
Most buildings in California use earthquake proof technology. All of these buildings will survive in a major earthquake. Smaller houses or buildings will most likely fall
Along with the buildings around it.
The San Andreas fault will trigger a magnitude of 7.9 max. It's not gonna cripple buildings like the movies. Not many high towers are even located in the violent shaking zone of the San Andres fault.
Porkchop Sandwiches “probably won’t make it”
My brain just cannot process why anyone would want to live like that anyway. I would be absolutely miserable !
I dont think they can sell it . Now they bought it for 3 million they dont have enough to buy another that is worth similar price.
For the view
Killer on the Road That view is meh.
@@av3169 It was a joke, lol.
For the view,plus these type of apartments are usually a sound investments that go up in value year on year in most major cities.
This needs to work it's way back into circulation with the whole Miami Building Collapse. They suspect it was sinking also and this would be on an even bigger scale. My advise: Get Out!!!

matrodmedia ... How else are they gonna get around?
It's rumored to be built with state of the art carts linked by and hovering on magnets.
matrodmedia 😂😂😂😂 i didnt notice
The reality is the developer cheaped out by not going to bedrock. They may shown on paper how it met code and saved a truck load of cash in the process but reality has a way of not following your paper expectations and now they are paying the price for their wallet tightening. A building of this size, on that soil, in that seismic zone, SHOULD have gone to bedrock just out of common sense.
Agreed. Every 10th grader out of science class knows what liquefaction is and what happens to mud and sand when the ground shakes.
Don’t know why this was in my news feed but I gotta say these are some of the best comments I’ve ever seen!!!
They could sell it to Silverstein. Then just "Pull it".
or just say it collapsed from "thermal expansion". The second time in history
On December 4, 2018, Ronald Hamburger, the senior principal engineer at Simpson Gumpertz Heger, revealed in a press release on a final resolution to the Millennium Tower's tilting and sinking problem by underpinning the building. The solution will involve the installation of 52 piles along the north and west sides of the tower beneath the sidewalk that reach down 250 ft (76.2 m) into the bedrock of downtown San Francisco and be tied with the original 60-90 ft (18.3-27.4 m) deep foundation piles. It's estimated that about 50% of the tilt will be evened out over a period of 10 years as the south and eastern sides of the building come back into re-alignment with the now sunken north and western sides of the building, at which point the remaining south and eastern sides of the building will be anchored to the bedrock, permanently resolving the tilting and sinking of the building. The fix will cost about $100 million.
It's amazing in 2018 people are still paying market price for these condos. I know the bay area is beautiful but you have to be a little nuts to take a chance with the building or the very real potential that you could get saddled with a huge assessment from the HOA.
wjatube
Most people overpay for houses, condos are even worse.
I'm surprised people are paying market prices for anything in the city. Sorry, but NOTHING in the city is worth living in, yet you're still paying half a million for a basic appartment. For that price you can buy a beautiful house out in the country, with some land out back. Now THAT is living!
deanmikehotmailcom you forgot the vomit.
You can't define what living is like for everyone, some may want to live in a highrise in a major city, and others might want to live far out in the country side, we all have our preferences,
wjatube bay area people should stay away from the San Joaquin valley
Well that sucks, I’ll just sit here and enjoy my $1 menu McChicken 👍
👌
My heart really goes out to those wealthy folks in that tower of silver and glass. It really bleeds for them. Really.
The deeper it sinks the more stable it will be
rate of sink would be a good number..as in is it slowing or speeding up. Also 16" in 7 years, 55mm a year on a skyscraper, is that really so bad?
"And that is giving residents a sinking feeling"

So much of SF is on landfill. I forget the percentages of bedrock and landfill, but I was shocked when I saw it. If I was going to purchase a condo for a million plus and knew the tower wasn't anchored in bedrock, no way I'd buy
Thomas Kinkade Well I bet they're well aware now, or should be
I would imagine that fact wasn’t part of the sales presentation
Wont be surprised if this “collapses” all of a “sudden”
Here from 2022: it fell and everyone jumped under it
"Built on sand and mud"
WTF???
Who does that???
I wonder how well it would do in a earthquake.
Can you imagine paying 2.3 million for your apt and then having to pay HOA fees on top of that, are you freaking kidding me....

Yeah me too...oh wait no... im just poor.
as architect and designer for many years, that building should be evacuated asap. The leveraging effect and spatial disposition, solar effect of Glass, expansion, Global medial bias are of of many reasons I would not set foot in this building. 15" notable movement.
No property taxes or rent on a condominium.
Not surprised a building called the millennium isn't working.

Surprisingly, the Hilton Millenium Tower in New York survived 9/11 even though it suffered major damage as it is appx 70 story bldg 50 yds away from the north tower. Granted, it is affixed to another building and there were no Enron files in there so probably no reason to implode it with the others. Not that this has relevance, but the joint I smoked a little while ago does not care :)

5 years later and it’s still leaning
UPDATE: They are getting a $100,000,000 fix. The project calls for 52 piles to be drilled 250 feet down into bedrock to shore up the building, now leaning 17 inches to the north and west. The 2-foot-thick circular steel piles would be filled with steel reinforced concrete. Twenty-two would be sunk along Mission Street and 30 on Fremont Street.

many places are built on sand and the arent leaning, the Seattle stadium was built on land fill and its not crumbling down.

No, they explained that after the gold rush part of the bay was filled in to create more land. Did you watch the video? Most homeless people in California are from out of state. They need to be sent back to their failing red states that have out of control poverty and inbreeding.
Glossy Gloss are u stupid? All homeless here are either California or illegal immigrants
Glossy Gloss Californias debt to GDP ratio is %125, your failed state is putting strain on our entire economy and you idiots cost more money than half of the country

All that money, time, and effort to build it....may be one day wasted.
Ok, everyone get over on that side and PUSH!
Imagine in an earthquake the thing just falls over
imagine that thing still standing after all the other buildings fell.
leaned and sank 16inches but still standing, meanwhile back in 2001 a small office fire brought down a whole building
Where did that happen? The only thing I can think of is the World Trade Centers. But that fire was as large as this entire building....
BaltimoreAndOhioRR building 7
It’s all going to tip over. It’s built on top of landfill, old sunken ships, tons of trash and full dirt. It was filled in Decades, upon decades ago. I don’t get how the city even let these buildings happen knowing it was going to just sink.
How anyone is willing to live in a high rise (or a leaning one at that) in a place that can have major earthquakes, is beyond me. That’s a hard NOPE!
Gotta love the way the building's developers blame construction on a nearby property. What TF did they think was gonna happen in the area after they put up their monstrosity? NOBODY else was gonna cash in? You have to account for contingencies. They didn't. That's negligence.
in the 1989 quake I was living in Palo Alto,I saw the ground rolling to the hills as if we we're on water,just as when a person jumps on a waterbed and the water flows to the other side
Mud, Sandy gravel can liquify and become hyperfluid during quakes, especially when the water table is high ,or around fault lines.buildings not anchored in bedrock could fail suddenly , due to loss of foundational stability . How many be more inches out of plumb can it go before it becomes hazardous / falls over ?
What you are describing in your comment I had a dream about like 2 weeks ago. the Earth was moving like it was floating on the ocean....
HEY I'm DESCRIBING the way I felt when the 1989 Loma Preata hit I was looking South West at the Mountains and the land was rolling as if it was on water.
Maybe they’re pooping too much on the one side of the street around building making it lean. Perhaps distribute it more around all sides.
Even the buildings in San Francisco are bent.
What was that saying about the wise man and the fool, something about building on sand vs on rock....?
Don't see a problem there!
Just remodel ground floor into a basement in like 50 years and nobody will notice a thing!
1/4" out of plumb per floor in ten years' time is not that scary. They should be paying more attention to the RATE at which it's sinking/leaning.
just make sure you post the video when it topples over.....it's goin be awesome....
😂😂
Have fun sinking Guys. Should have bought a house....
or 10 houses outside california.
should of gone to spec saivors
ken, absolutly right, 2.3 million for a apartment is insane. To bad they just had to buy so they could be smug. The law suits will go on for decades and the only winners will be the attorneys.
Or 20 houses in houston
They're paying $3450 a month in property taxes alone and California has one of the lowest property taxes.
Rename it the Titanic.
Trill Pharaoh my heart will go on......
Watch out last time a building had structural issues in a major city and the owner was told it needed repair or brought down. He just upped his insurance to cover terrorism. Then conveniently two planes crashed into them then after he took the insurance company to court and got paid double for separate attacks.
Don’t they have structure surveyors in USA you use before you pay millions for a property 🤷♀️
