The Bunker Hill Urban Renewal Plan involved the eviction of 8–9,000 people, the removal of all structures on the 134 acres of Bunker Hill and the lowering of the elevation of the hill by up to 100 feet. The graded lots then became ‘super-blocks’ which were sold to developers at an estimated cost of $100 million. The clearances took place between 1959 and 1964, and involved the removal of 7,310 dwelling units and their occupants from 340 residential structures, and the demolition of 132 non-residential structures. The Sunshine Apartments building was destroyed in 1964.
