Solent Flour Mills, along the city's docks, was abandoned 18 months ago as the port took over the site.
And despite campaigners trying to save the former Hovis production factory, plans were put in place to pull down the building - and it has now started.
The process is expected to take around nine months, according to an ABP spokesperson.
An ABP spokesperson said: “Following the ending of operations at the Solent Flour Mill building 18 months ago, the building was abandoned and the port, as the freeholder took over the site. Over the past year, we have consulted with a number of people and organisations to identify alternative uses for the site but unfortunately no financially viable proposals were put forward.
“The building, which has been altered over many decades and partially rebuilt following damage in the war, occupies a central 7 acre site within the port complex. This space is needed by the port as we seek to preserve and grow employment in Southampton.
“We have engaged demolition contractors who have commenced demolition of the old mill, which we envisage will take around nine months to complete.
"We have commissioned heritage experts to create a comprehensive record of the building in its current form, which we will share with the city council and local museum.”
From outside, there is currently no visible demolition to be seen.

While children’s commissioner Anne Longfield warns a “lost generation of teens” could be groomed by gangs and criminals if they cannot be reached.
The commissioner’s analysis identified 564 people aged 13 to 17-years-old in Southampton who were falling through the gaps in education and social care provision in 2017 to 2018.
This is one of the highest proportions in the south east with 49.1 per 1,000 teenagers in the age group suffering.
The figure includes children who were bounced around or went missing from the care system, were excluded from or dropped out of school, or had high levels of unauthorised absence.
It also counts those who were not in education, employment or training (NEET) as of December 2017.
Southampton Itchen MP Royston Smith criticised the council stating they were "concerned" about the figures, and that the council has "clearly made no measurable improvement".
He said: "I am very concerned to hear this. The council has pledged to do more for children and young people in its care but it looks as though little or no progress has been made.

A total of seven inquests have now been opened into the deaths of women - including one from Hampshire - who were treated by rogue breast surgeon Ian Paterson , who was jailed in 2017 for wounding patients .
Area coroner Emma Brown said on Wednesday that she had reason to believe three further deaths “ may have been caused or contributed to by acts or omissions in the treatment provided by Mr Paterson , and potentially by other clinicians involved in the care ” .

SUSPECTS are far less likely to be charged with crimes in Hampshire than five years ago , new figures reveal .
Labour MP Yvette Cooper , who chairs the Home Affairs Select Committee , said a “ worrying ” fall in the number of crimes being dealt with nationally reflects years of high demand on police Home Office data shows a suspect was charged or summonsed for just 7 % of crimes recorded by Hampshire Constabulary in the year to March .

The charity has been forced to cancel major fundraising events such as the annual Race for Life.
As a result it has had to make the difficult decision to cut research funding by £44m - and fears that could be just the start.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer in March last year, Lisa, 46, of Totton, owes her life to advances in treatment.
Now she is helping to highlight the threat which the funding gap poses to future breakthroughs.
After finding a lump in her breast she went for a mammogram, thinking it was nothing to worry about, and broke down on the journey home after being told it was suspicious.
Lisa managed to celebrate her daughter Jess's wedding and cram in a quick family holiday with her husband and other two children before undergoing surgery.
Weeks later she started six sessions of chemotherapy followed by a course of radiotherapy, which resulted in Lisa losing her hair.
