- Demolition of the Saginaw Plaza Hotel. July 23, 2012.
History:
1979 - Construction begins on the eight-story, 177-room Radisson Inn Saginaw City officials believe the hotel, which will cost $5.8 million, is key to downtown revitalization.
1980 - The Radisson opens May 29. In news reports, hotel officials call the first six months “very tough.”
1982 - Radisson officials say operations will continue “as usual” even though the hotel defaults on a $143,000 interest payment on bonds issued to finance construction. A month later, the hotel files for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code.
1983 - Radisson occupancy rates increase by 20 percent over the previous year.
1985 - Richard and Florentine Van Tiem of Bloomfield Hills buy the Radisson for $3 million in May. They change the name to the Florentine Inn and plan to renovate the five-year-old hotel.
1987 - A concrete column dislodges from the roof and falls 80 feet onto the one-story section of the hotel, which houses the swimming pool. No one is injured.
1992 - News reports indicate the Van Tiems are trying to unload the struggling inn soon after city officials buy the International Centre from the couple for a lease-to-own agreement with Delta College.
1993 - MITC Inc., a nonprofit educational organization, signs a purchase agreement in October to buy the hotel from the Van Tiems. The hotel’s name changes to the Princess Inn.
1994 - Some Princess Inn employees quit, complaining that their paychecks bounce. Telephone service is temporarily shut off in November, causing some to speculate that the hotel will close. The hotel closes Dec. 12.
1995 - Through a court order, the Van Tiems regain possession of the hotel. They plan to renovate it and rename it the International Inn, but Richard Van Tiem dies in January. West Palm Beach, Fla.-based Servico Inc., which operates 55 hotels, in June begins negotiations to buy the hotel. A $2.6 million sale goes through in October, and the hotel becomes the Crowne Plaza.
1996 - Servico invests $3 million in renovations. With the backing of a major hotel chain, expectations run high in Saginaw. The Crowne Plaza formally opens in September.
1997 - Management features four men in the top position between the opening and August 1997. In February, the general manager admits the hotel is behind projected occupancy.
2000 - In October, Lodgian Inc., the Atlanta company that merged with Servico, returns the hotel keys to Florentine Van Tiem. She says she will keep the hotel open and retain most of the 60-worker staff. The new name is Saginaw Plaza Hotel.
2002 - The hotel operates on a limited basis. Saginaw native and longtime business and civic leader Norman C. Braddock announces he is buying it, but the deal falls through. Officials want to convert some rooms into suites for retirees and medical specialists on extended assignments, but the plan never materializes.
2003 - Entrepreneur Cindy Gerlachowski buys the Saginaw Plaza Hotel. The facility becomes Howard Johnson’s Plaza Hotel and Conference Center.
2004 - Gerlachowski says she may close or sell because a brawl in the Saginaw Centre parking lot in September led frightened guests to flee. Two months later, Gerlachowski gives up her stake and quits as general manager.
2005 - SNGC of Baton Rouge, La., forecloses on Grand Haven-based Saginaw Plaza Group. The hotel continues to operate through a receivership.
2006 - After a deal to buy the hotel falls through, the hotel closes in September. SNGC’s attorney says he doesn’t know if any guests had to cancel reservations.
2009 - The hotel re-opens when a Chicago-based investment team claimed to buy the property for $2.9 million. No records exist at the county showing that transaction. Saginaw County officials speculate the hotel’s ownership allowed a second group to manage the facility.
2010 - SNGC files a quit claim deed and transfers ownership to Eureka, Calif.-based Wachovia Bank National Association, which inherits $78,660.44 in unpaid property taxes. Officials say if the bank doesn’t pay, the hotel could face foreclosure in March 2012.
2011 - The hotel appears to change management again in March when Mike Esposito, the Saginaw Spirit’s general manager, reportedly begins overseeing operations.
1979 - 2012

Alright, finally an operator who prefers the big chunks instead of the one crumb at a time crap! Give this man a raise!!!
The most relaxing video on UA-cam to watch during lockdown... especially 2:38.
A not so old, and once nice, hotel that never realized it's full potential.....
I don't understand how such a young hotel needs so much renovations - TWICE if I read it correctly.
Damn, I could have watched another hour of this destruction!
Where is the ending
What is this building made off? Vanilla Wafer or something more durable such as chalk!
U do know that’s a demo ball right!!!
Ball and chain, for demolitions? I remember that system from the fifties, when they demolished air raid shelters built in the Second World War.
Cheapest. Just replace the cable and the ball rarely needs fixing. Saves a high pressure hydraulic system on the arm and claws of the newer ones.
thanks
this was the noisiest hotel I ever stayed at.
That's surprising, because it seemed 95% empty everytime I used to drive by it.
Interesting that nothing was stripped from the building, like furniture
If it's going in a scrap heap. It's easier to demolish it all than get some poor paid bugger to ruin his lower back
where was this shot? what city
Awesome operator, not afraid to smash some shit or make a little dust. WELL DONE !!!!!!!!
I am surprised that relatively small wrecking ball was able to break steel beams. Normally these use a sniping tool for that.
The building was constructed of precast prestressed concrete Double "T" castings. Easy work for a wrecking ball.
Какой вес у шара?
A nice big heavy ball, not exactly what I googled though ;)
Naughty Betty ;-)
@@nigelb5341 I've got to have my fun during lockdown, or should that be knockdown.
I guess they didn't bother to clean out the building completely? It looks like some furniture, the carpets, and the glass are still in place. Is it cheaper to just tear the whole thing down without removing them? Some of those things could still be salvaged, especially the glass.
Any more of this? Thanks!

@@markjames9431 what kind of city ?
Crash crazy oh my God
why the tire ?
To isolate vibrations from the wrecking Ball to the structure of the crane.
Salut. Bonjour à tous et bienvenue.
J’aimerais bien savoir pour quelles raisons là que ces immeubles ont été démolis. Ça m’intéresse beaucoup de me renseigner. S’il vous plaît, est-ce que quelqu’un peut me donner les réponses et me dire pourquoi ces immeubles là ont été démolis ? De quelle raison exactement ? En quelle année ça avait été construit ? Et démoli. S’il vous plaît. La réponse sera très gentil de votre part ? Merci et à très bientôt Guillaume.

Wrecking ball takes to long
The whole city looks like it has been demolished
you been there
@@fitalittlebittv8667 Was born there
@@AlphaSupremeyou're right about that
@@AlphaSupreme me 2. I was just there yesterday. it didnt look like whole city should be demolished. I'm in Detroit and this is a mess.
@@fitalittlebittv8667 The whole east side is full of abandoned houses, part of the west & south side. They're tearing down one of the old GM plants right now. All of the hotels in Buena Vista are abandoned. The only functioning part is Birch Run, Freeland & Frankenmuth. The Fashion Square Mall looks like a ghost town. Where's in Detroit, it's rebuilding
I wonder how much that steel ball weighs.
That one looks like its about a ton. They could get up to 5000 lbs in weight.
A wrecking ball. Mercilessly destroys this hotel every room of this hotel turns to dust It would be much more spectacular to blow up this hotel as they do with old hotels in Las Vegas and to demolish it with a wrecking ball is somehow boring but on the one hand the wrecking ball demolishes buildings mercilessly
Made of corton

Todo se hizo mierda
