Google's Bay View Campus, photographed from the Stevens Creek Trail in Mountain View, California.
The campus building is still under construction, but appears to be nearly complete. You can see what I believe are lighted, green "EXIT" signs inside parts of the building.
This development is adjacent to NASA's Ames Research Center.

It's all gone now, but this is the east side of the now-demolished Vallco Fashion Park shopping mall in Cupertino, California.
The rough, open part of the building is what was left after the structure that spanned Wolfe Road was demolished.
Redevelopment of the mall site, originally developed in the 1970s, has been contentious for years. At the end of 2020 it appears certain that the acres formerly covered by the mall will be redeveloped into mixed-use housing and commercial property, with open spaces accessible to the public.

The "business end" of the equipment suited to making old shopping malls disappear.

"Boffo" in this case is the surname of the Italian developer Tarcisio Boffo, who relocated to Canada and established Boffo Properties.
It's not the theatrical term for a hit show :-)
