Same same, but different

Same same, but different
This is an eight-story office building from the 1970s. With shops on the first floor. Located at Tegelbacken, next to the Sheraton Hotel. Or, it was, as it is currently being demolished to be replaced with, you guessed it, a brand new six-story office building with shops on the first floor. But it is not all bad, they will use some of the facade material on the roof of the new building. And the nightlife in the area will be improved. At least that is the idea.

Out with the old and in with the new?

That's just how it always seems.

Couldn't they renovate the old one?

I read up about it and it was not possible to renovate to today's high standard. The new building will have fewer stories, much more natural light, and more.
