Demolition of IBM Old Building Group nears completion
ENDICOTT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The demolition of the IBM Old Building Group in Endicott is nearly complete.
Gorick Construction was tearing down the remaining building along McKinley Avenue on Tuesday.
Once all of the structures have been leveled, the rubble will be removed, and there will be some preparation of the site for potential future development.
Mayor Nick Burlingame says the area will remain fenced off. However, a more attractive-looking fence will be erected set back a bit from the sidewalk with a grass border to improve the appearance.
The old IBM buildings have been condemned for 20 years.
The demolition is supported by $6 million from New York State and $2 million of Broome County's ARPA funds.
Burlingame says he's hopeful that the closed section of McKinley can reopen by the end of this week.

Nvidia, Amazon, Google Lead Tech Selloff After Israel Strikes Iran
June 13 - Tech stocks tracked broader markets lower as Middle East tensions rose. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF slipped about 1%, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell about 2%. Among large-cap names, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) each dropped about 1%, and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) slid about 1%. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) was little changed, and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) also saw minimal movement. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) showed modest gains but remained within a narrow range. Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) bucked the trend, climbing about 1%, possibly on its ties with defense contracts. (NASDAQ:MNDY) declined about 3%, reflecting sensitivity to geopolitical uncertainty. Semiconductor stocks broadly ceded ground: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) fell about 2%, Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) slipped about 1%, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) lost about 1%, and Marvell Technology (MRVL) slid about 2%. IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Kyndryl Holdings (NYSE:KD) each edged down about 1%. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow all retreated roughly 1% as investors weighed the impact of Israel's strikes on Iran. The effects of the attack have cascaded across global markets, with a strong risk-off move for several asset classes, said Deutsche Bank's Henry Allen. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat, underscoring uncertainty. Market participants remain alert to how the situation might affect tech demand and broader sentiment. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

QBTS Soars Over 1,300% Despite IBM and GOOGL's Quantum Milestones
D-Wave Quantum Inc. QBTS has emerged as one of the most compelling stories in the high-tech investment landscape, driven by a massive surge of 1,343.6% over the past year, far outpacing the industry and benchmarks. This growth underscores growing investor confidence in the company's quantum annealing technology. While giants like International Business Machines IBM and Alphabet GOOGL dominate headlines with their gate-based quantum systems, D-Wave has introduced a commercially focused path through quantum annealing, solving complex optimization problems in minutes. This alternative approach of D-Wave is rapidly expanding into commercial use cases in logistics, finance and manufacturing, where it delivers tangible business outcomes today. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research D-Wave stands out as a long-term investment by solving real-world problems today, unlike its rivals, which are focused on future gate-model systems. Its annealing-based Advantage2 prototype has already demonstrated quantum advantage, completing tasks in minutes that would take classical supercomputers millennia. With its Leap cloud platform and active deployments at companies like Ford Otosan and NTT DOCOMO, D-Wave is generating real commercial value. As demand for optimization and AI accelerates, its proven technology and enterprise traction give it strong staying power in the quantum space. IBM: On June 10, 2025, IBM revealed its plan for Quantum Starling, its first fault-tolerant quantum computer, set to be launched by 2029. Designed to run 20,000× more operations than current systems, Starling will use around 200 logical qubits with advanced error correction and real-time oversight. This marks a major step from theory to practical, large-scale quantum computing. Alphabet: In December 2024, Google unveiled Willow, a 105-qubit processor that marked a major step forward in quantum error correction. Tests showed that adding more qubits significantly reduced error rates, achieving a key milestone known as 'below-threshold' scaling. Willow also completed a complex task in under five minutes that would take classical supercomputers trillions of years. Google expects real-world quantum applications within five years in areas like drug discovery, battery design and energy. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for D-Wave's 2025 earnings implies a 72% improvement year over year. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research D-Wave Quantum currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
