After months of legal squabbling regarding the status of the incomplete Harmon Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, a process to dismantle the property is now underway.
MGM Resorts International (MGM), the owner, announced workers have started removing scrap metal and other materials from inside the Harmon tower after a judge issued an order on May 5 allowing the process to move forward.
That’s after a couple of years of legal motions by MGM and the builder, Tutor Perini Building Co.
The hotel was part of the $8.5 billion CityCenter complex that opened in 2009. But construction of the Harmon was halted in 2008 after inspectors found flaws in the steel reinforcements of the concrete structure.
Lawyers for the property insisted the unsound building is a safety hazard and should come down while the builders fought to be permitted to reinforce the steel and complete the building.
A September trial will be held to determine who is liable for the defects.
