What's the reason for the grinding of the walls?

There's a grinding attachment on that mini excavator and they're chewing up the walls of the hole. They've done it all the way around.

I haven't seen this one, but flattening a secant pile wall? Have a look at http://www.railsystem.net/secant-pile-walls/ - the wall is first made with a whole bunch of overlapping columns, and later the bulges can be ground off.

That's exactly what it is.

I think that's where the utilities come in from King Street.

I drove by a couple hours ago and it looks like they're about to start on the ground floor.

They had some forms set up on the barber shop side of the property.

That's it. They have continued working on this, but progress has been fairly slow recently -- could be COVID-19 restrictions, or something else.
