INFERNO: Ginormous 1.3 Million SQFT Apartment Fire

I don't typically post about real estate events in other states.  But, after seeing photos of this event, I thought it was worth sharing.

Downtown Los Angels is experiencing a residential construction boom at the moment.  A particular developer has been building giant structures in interior urban neighborhoods.  One such project was called the Da Vinci.  It is/was a 1.3 million square foot giant.  Here are several photos.  The first is a rendering of what the finished project would look like.  The next couple are of it of it under construction.

Unfortunately, that much wood makes for excellent kindling.  Somehow, nearly the entire structure caught fire at same time.  Here is how that looked on the Los Angeles skyline.  More shocking photos can be found HERE.

Needless to say, authorities are investigating.
