Intel Shell was an unfinished Intel building located in Austin, Texas. It was imploded on February 23rd, 2007,[1] [2] and the Austin United States Courthouse now stands in its place.
It was halted in March 2001, abandoned from March 2001 to 2004 by pain, because Intel abruptly stopped its construction.[3]
A few days after the implosion, David Weaver, tried to sell many bottles that comes with the label "Intel Shell Inside" with the left overs for 20$.[4]
In 2009, a courthouse started its construction process and was completed in 2012, and the Austin U.S. courthouse stands today.[5]
