That's unexpected, at least to me. I thought that proj was still x number of days or even wks away from reaching that point. it's a nice change of pace when improvements move faster than originally assumed. Or the opposite of something like the glacial speed of the clark hotel proj.

The Flower Street of Avant is now working on it's 6th floor. The Figueroa side is only three floors up.

that's another unexpected bit of news. I thought work had begun on the Fig side of that apt proj before the section facing Flower was underway. Or cuz the Fig side is the more presentable entry to such a new bldg, I assumed the devlpr wanted that side to be completed before the other side.
I came across these brief vids of the avant bldg, & what stands out to me is how the proj's footprint is rather small, surrounded on all sides by parking lots & tired old bldgs.

Not as small as when the city lights on Fig apt bldg was completed about 10 yrs ago, on a site almost next door to avant. City lights stood all alone, all by itself.....& not a big proj in its own right....only 100 apt units. I'm sure the ppl in that apt bldg welcome the new neighbors. However, to make that part of dt really start to come alive will require many more new projs, back to back, side by side....

^ when this bldg filled up rather quickly, that was another reason why I began to think dt had more demand for housing than previously estimated. the bldg's website currently shows about 13 vacant apts out of 100. btw, the brockman lofts bldg at 7th & grand ave now shows 4 units remain available for lease.
