Kauffman Thriftway Building Demolished in Vancouver

0:00It's April 2nd. This is Vancouver news today, powered by AI. Crews finally started tearing down the old Kaufman Thriftway building in Vancouver on Tuesday, nearly a year after the city slapped it with a first-teen, condemnation order. That order came back in April 2025, for the spot at 900 Westforth plain boulevard, showing clear picks of the roof half caved. In, the place sat empty and falling apart for over four years, turning into a real eyesore for the neighborhood. No big drama from locals so far, but folks are glad to see this hazard gone before it got worse. Demolitions moving quick now, clearing the way for whatever comes next on that block.
