don't you recall colemonkee's pic from a few wks ago that showed the lot being closed down & surrounded with a green tarp? those are the best type of photos cuz they show totally new changes to the hood. I think such improvements are turning little tokyo into one of the most user friendly parts of dt, even more so when the new rail connector station is added at 1st & alameda sts.
as far as I know there perhaps is only one other new proj that may have broken ground over the past few wks....that being the large apt bldg that's supposed to rise next to the fwy and west of the water & power bldg, at fremont & temple sts. the proj from a devlpr who is everyone's favorite....GH palmer!
btw, you have to admit that ppl on this thread who go

&

about his devlpt....about his faux euro bldgs----as is done a few posts above----is no less of a.....

....than any other complaint raised here.
btw, I bet far, far more ppl have problems not with new apt bldgs that have corny, vegasy euro styling.....certainly since those projs have filled up with tenants fairly quickly....but with the points I've raised in the past.
I think not understanding the difference between one & the other is a big reason some ppl become so puzzled why projs like the grand wilshire take so long to get off the ground...or end up cancelled....why new bldgs are short instead of big, tall towers, why major parts of bunker hill still are vacant even today. iow, no, it's not cuz new projs won't win the pritizker prize, or cuz bldgs don't have stores on the 1st level, or cuz new devlpt in dtla isn't urban enough.
