Six months of asbestos and hazardous material removal at Alexandria City Hall, 301 King Street, has wrapped up, but unexpected contamination found in the 1960s south façade and east and west courtyards pushed the schedule back 10 weeks, to a fall 2028 completion. Crews will begin deconstructing the 1960s addition in September. Separately, a temporary pile system to stabilize the underground Market Square garage perimeter is being installed through early fall 2026, ahead of that structure's deconstruction.

Crews at the former Redlands Mall in Redlands, California, are removing asbestos and addressing structural issues tied to demolition work around the adjacent CVS building, Development Services Director Sean Reilly told the Planning Commission. No timeline for demolition has been set, and the city has received no updated site plan or application to revise the 2022-approved mixed-use project, which called for up to 700 housing units and 65,000 square feet of retail space. The property was acquired in November 2025 by Town Square Development Group LLC.

DOE's Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management and contractor UCOR have prepared the 210,000-square-foot Beta-1 facility at Y-12 National Security Complex for teardown starting this summer, following the January completion of the 325,000-square-foot Alpha-2 demolition six months ahead of schedule. Beta-1 deactivation involved 900 samples, 17 million gallons of pumped water, 3,000 feet of drainpipe removal, and over 2,500 truckloads of stabilizing concrete, aided by LiDAR mapping. Demolition is set to conclude in 2028, after which crews will move to Y-12's Old Steam Plant.
