Today, we have a quick update on the Alexan LoHi project going in at West 32nd Avenue and Tejon Street. As a refresher, this project will contain 106 apartment units with 10,000 square feet of retail.
We mentioned back in August that demolition was complete, and the site was ready for construction. As of this weekend, crews were working on installing the tower crane, which should now be fully erected. Here is a picture of the crane going up.
Alexan LoHi will be built over the next 15 months, with completion in December 2017.
So it looks like they had to tear down some coll low-rise buildings that gave the street a funky look.

That’s too bad.
That’s right. This project is unfortunate. If we developed more wisely, these old funky buildings would preserve character and be used by local small businesses.
