teardowns
Buildings slated for destruction
Teardowns are the acts of completely disassembling something to examine its components, common in technology analysis where experts take apart devices to study their construction: The teardown revealed the phone's battery was glued in place.
In real estate, a teardown is a property purchased specifically to demolish the existing structure and build something new: They bought the old bungalow as a teardown.
