Description
San Francisco's Millennium Tower sank more than 16 inches in about seven years and was leaning 29 inches at the top by 2024. Engineers drilled 18 new piles to bedrock beside the 58-story skyscraper while 419 homes stayed occupied. The drilling made it tilt more. Then the jacks lifted it.
