Interesting that the lead photo[0] also shows Salesforce East (formerly Salesforce Plaza, 350 Mission) also sinking at a similar rate. I'm wondering what all of this will end up meaning for Salesforce Tower (the large hole in the ground to the left of the Millennium Tower), since it's close to topping out and will be one of the two tallest buildings west of the Mississippi River.

Also of note: you can actually see the buckling of the sidewalk and curbing immediately adjacent to the Millennium Tower. I'll see if I can get a photo to share today. There's certainly quite a bit of heavy construction equipment traveling on Fremont/Mission, but I can't see how it would cause buckling sidewalks.
