Chandler residents have long called Elevation Chandler one of the city’s biggest eyesores.
Nate Barna, an engineer who lives near the site, said he had to drive by the “hideous” structure every day on his commute to work. He took the day off work to join his wife and young son at the demolition site to celebrate.
“I just can’t wait to drive by and see it flat and see the new construction,” Barna said. “(It’s a) new sign of things to come.”
