Key there is it was deemed unfixable. $350 MM can do a lot of fixing.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not denying the entire possibility. It's just extremely unlikely, especially given that the tower is currently deemed safe.




Plus if it turns out to have been caused by the Trans Bay Terminal, they have very deep pockets (they supposedly spent $58 million on a buttress to protect the Millineum Tower). As does the developer, Millennium Partners and the engineering from firm's insurance companies.

This will get fixed. There will just have to be a big fight to see who has to pay.
