In 2022, demolition of the building was initiated...Attempts to raise funds to save it and campaigns to preserve it as a historic landmark were unsuccessful...The tower was disassembled starting on 12 April 2022, with component units repurposed.

RIP. Looked cool as hell. But sounds like it has fallen into pretty bad disrepair
