According to the City of Phoenix's permit search, demolition permits have been issued to Resource Environmental, Inc., a demolition contractor based in Cerritos, California.

The permits were issued for three addresses: 9801 North Metro Parkway East (the former UHaul building), 9813 North Metro Parkway East (the former Dillard's building), and 9617 North Metro Parkway East (Metrocenter Mall). 

Each permit is for the total demolition of one building. They were issued by the City of Phoenix on Sept. 5 and will expire on Nov. 19, meaning the demolition must be completed by that date. However, the exact day that the demolition will take place has not been announced.  

A City of Phoenix spokesperson said in the May that the demolition was expected to take place this fall.
