The old warehouses that once stood along S. Eads Street, between 12th and 15th streets, are no more.
The buildings have been torn down over the course of the past month to make way for the first half of Amazon’s permanent HQ2, which is expected to open in 2023.
A Reddit user who lives near the site captured a unique, bird’s-eye view of the demolition, posting a minute-and-a-half video showing the warehouses being methodically leveled over time.
The video was shot on a GoPro in timelapse mode, the user said.
“Hopefully you signed like a 10 year price lock lease because your rent is probably going to skyrocket,” another user said in the comments.
