Google has already begun to demolish buildings in a formerly industrial part of town to clear the way

  Google has already begun to demolish buildings in a formerly industrial part of town to clear the way  for the first phase of its new transit-oriented neighborhood, which will consist of office buildings, homes, shops, restaurants, hotel facilities, open spaces, cultural attractions and entertainment hubs.
