Visiting friends in town walked around downtown and took some shots of many things but here is the new Dominion Energy tower.  Yesterday.

Went by the job site earlier today and took a quick video of the work that SB Cox is doing.  It's slow moving, they spent a decent amount of time while I was there moving the smaller demo machine out of the way to make room for the larger one that can get to the floors up higher.  Seems like you have to download the video and not play it in the window here, not sure how to do that.  Will look some more to find out if that's possible.

I think SunTrust and BoA will be blocking it from that view point.  Dominion will only be about 13' taller than SunTrust tower and given the perspective it will appear about the same height as the Fed tower.

I'm not good with visualizing the street grid from this angle. I thought it would fit right between Two James Center and the Fed but in reality it will be behind Two James and BoA Center. But at least 321Locks will be a major addition. There should be a good site for a future skyscraper to fit between the Fed and Two James Center from this angle though. Like one of the Foundry Park or Crowne Plaza sites?

Not the fanciest videos but took a couple of the wrecking ball on the way to a meeting. Lots of activity on the 7th Street side that I didn't get.

These are super cool videos of the wrecking ball at work!  Great work Coupe!  No wonder it will take 4 month to complete demo...it appears to be a very slow process.  There's still a lot of building left to take down!

This reminds me of a question that I have...where do they dispose of the rubble?  A regular landfill?  That can't be, can it?

Also, does anyone know of a construction cam yet?  I'm hoping there is one soon if there is not one already.

The debris is usually separated and recycled.  Whatever cannot be recycled is sent to a landfill.

Love the video and the photos!  Thanks!  By the way, what's the deal with the tiny wrecking ball anyway?!  Heck, Miley Cyrus rode on a bigger wrecking ball than that!  No wonder it's going to take 4 months to demolish the building!  Pull out your big balls boys!  Gee!

That's actually about the right size wrecking ball for this type of work.
