Chicago just did one of these moves last year. To move an old building out of the way for new red line track. https://news.wttw.com/2021/08/04/time-lapse-video-cta-moves-...

Here's another from about 10 years ago; they moved a mansion and its coach house to another block on the street to make room for a basketball arena. Impressive that they squeezed it into a tiny city lot, and saved the tree in the (new) backyard!
