Construction has begun on the park just west of the tower:

Looking west from Second Street it becomes apparent that the Athena Tower is quite unlike the previous residential buildings around it such as the Portofino, Mandalay, or the Marbella.

From the Metro Plaza shopping mall parking lot, with the Trump tower in the background. For now, the north facade of the tower should have clear views to the Palisades, but eventually Metro Plaza will become eight high rise towers.





The parking garage dominates the street on Washington Blvd.



From Second Street looking West, the Athena rises like a giant bookend:

"A" or Athena, is rising just outside the Powerhouse district along Washington Blvd, bound on two sides by the light rail tracks. Below is view down Washington looking South. The light rail wraps around behind the building in this picture, literally hugging the foundation.



Window installation has begun:
