Imagine investing in a luxury skyscraper apartment, only to find out the entire building is sinking and tilting—and millions spent on fixes haven't stopped it. This is the astonishing true story of San Francisco's Millennium Tower, a high-rise that has become an engineering nightmare.
We'll explore the failed attempts to fix the issue, including costly retrofits that sometimes made matters worse, and discuss the new challenges engineers face, such as the mysterious "dishing" effect causing the center of the building to sink.
The impact on residents has been devastating: property values have plummeted, legal battles are ongoing, and the stress of living in an unstable building is ever-present.
