My understanding is that it has to do with the support wall and as the foundation of the Mayfair is removed, it significantly weakens the foundation of Hymmen. Correct me if I'm wrong though as I'm not certain.
I'm not sure either. Perhaps the common wall does not extend down to the basement? In any event it was interesting watching the precision of the demolition - taking down the Mayfair without harming the Hymmen building. The guy operating the excavator really knows his stuff.
