Demolition of the former Pilot Butte 6 theater building in Bend is underway this week.

SunWest Builders project manager Adam Bowles said the building was built in 1994 and was 23,679 square feet in size. The former owner, Regal Cinemas, had removed seating and almost everything of value before SunWest began the project. On Monday, the entrance and ticket booth, pictured below, were leveled, with work on the inside continuing before the outer walls come down later this week.

A Walgreens pharmacy and Wilco farm and garden store plan to open on the property later this year.
