Before the first shovel turned Wednesday, soil from four neighborhood organizations went into the ground at Lila at The Square.
Soil gathered from the International District Community Center, Enlace Academy, Mi Hogar Daycare and IMPD's Northwest District was mixed with earth from the Lila site. All four make a positive impact in the neighborhood.
Guests wrote messages to future residents on a wish wall, and those cards are going into Lila's leasing office so the first families through the door can read what this neighborhood hoped for them.
Lila at The Square will bring 144 affordable homes to 4615 Century Plaza Road in 2027. There will be an early learning center from Mi Hogar inside, free internet in every home and rents that stay affordable for 40 years.
The blended soil is going into a sealed jar that will sit in the lobby when residents move in.
Capital builds buildings. People build neighborhoods.
