1515 Tower
1515 Tower (Originally The Arkona) was a former residential high-rise in West Palm Beach, Florida. Completed in 1974, it was the second tallest building in West Palm Beach with 30 stories and rising 98 metres (322 ft).[1] 1515 Tower was heavily damaged during Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 and was subsequently vacated. The facade was heavily damaged as a result of the storms, and on August 1, 2006, the city issued a demolition order.[2] The building was demolished by use of explosives, colloquially called implosion, on Sunday, February 14, 2010.[3] 1515 Tower was the third tallest building in the United States to be imploded.[4] There have been several proposals for a new building at the site at 1515 Flagler Drive.[5][6]
