Has anyone noticed how rapidly the new apartments and townhouses along East Liberty Boulevard are going up? Seems like there was nothing but dirt there as late as the summer, but the framing of the vast majority of the buildings are now up. Even some windows and a bit of brick facing are now installed.

My understanding is that these are not really going to be "new" units, insofar as they will be replacing Larimer's Auburn Street apartments and East Liberty Gardens (although both of those sites will then be available for redevelopment). Still, if you go down Larimer Avenue towards Larimer, the change is already notable. It used to feel like you were heading into the wilderness when you crossed East Liberty Boulevard, now it's starting to feel more like one cohesive neighborhood again.
