Waukesha condo demolition begins
Demolition of Waukesha's Horizon West Condominium building began Thursday.
WAUKESHA, Wis. - Demolition of Waukesha's Horizon West Condominium building began Thursday, Nov. 9 – crews removing sections piece by piece because of asbestos.
The city forced everyone out of the building in December 2021 due to fear it might collapse. Residents sued their insurance company to cover demolition costs. That case is on appeal, and one former condo owner told FOX6 News they are still waiting on a federal judge's decision.
