We broke ground on Dick + Jane earlier this month. It is a two unit small lot subdivision on Echo Park Blvd. between Echo Park and Sunset Blvd. For more information click here.

This is the excavated garage. The striation in the soil is clearly visible from this view. The top 5' is dark loose soil and the bottom lighter color is the bedrock which is bearing the load of the structure.

One of the homes at Rock Row has fallen out of escrow and is now available! It is a floor plan D. For more information please visit Rock Row or call Chris Furstenberg at 323.660.6221

Pictured is the break in the slab between the living room and dining room. The footings have yet to be excavated, they will sit in the bedrock below the pictured top soil. The pile of brick is from the old house that we think burned down at least 20 years ago. L.A. is a very young city but it is interesting that in the last 100 yrs. this site has gone from being underwater as part of the reservoir, to a house that burned down, to new construction now.

Today we broke ground. We are exporting around 200 yards of dirt. Running two trucks and 1 backhoe. The backhoe is $110 an hour. The trucks rotate every 45 minutes or so and hold about 10 yards of dirt. We get about 10 trips a day in. Excavation will probably take about a week. This part of Echo Park used to be underwater as part of the reservoir back in the 1902s so the topsoil is pretty dark and fertile.
