The office of state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli announced Titanium will demolish the former Formerly Department of Civil Services Buildings 1 and 1A. the buildings were built in 1958 and 1970.

Building 1 is 167,000 square feet and building 1A is 134,000 square feet. Both consist of three floors and a basement.
