Yeah I have a feeling the builders have just condemned the entire building.

At this point, even if repairs are made, I have to wonder if any insurance company will issue a policy to cover the renovated building. If nothing else, the property has now been severely devalued. No one is going to want to live there.

one poster said they added a swimming pool to the top? not sure if true

Doubt it was filled. This is the old Pfizer HQ that is in the midst
Va AandM • 07/08/26 09:10 AM ET
Or as we call it

I saw it was formerly the Pfizer Building or Pfizer HQ in it.

Maybe a young hot Italian kid will murder their CEO over their culpability.**

It takes a lot to overload a column. They're usually considerably oversized

I get not everyone knows

First thing I saw. I may be able to recover $$ for my trauma.**
PhotoHokieNC • 07/08/26 06:59 AM ET
Yep, that's been an issue in every article I've read about it.

At least he didn't say, "The cement floor is sagging". 🤷‍♂️**

LOL. No difference there.**

Im thinking of digging into this. Smells bad. Like fraudulent materials
ColoVT82 • 07/07/26 06:11 PM ET
I'd say terrible design and/or implementation.

To say it's disconcerting would be an understatement.
EDGEMAN • 07/07/26 05:58 PM ET
Latest is it’s not shifting and they are devising a stabilization scheme
Va AandM • 07/07/26 06:06 PM ET
I wouldn't want to live there, or even walk past it on the street...
EDGEMAN • 07/07/26 07:43 PM ET
Surrounding streets are shut and adjacent buildings are evacuated
