This blog has discussed the history of 5505 Lindo Paseo: when it was a pair of frat houses, then a large mansion, and now a construction site for a multistory private student apartment house with an Orwellian name. This is what "Victory" looks like a month before the Fall 2025 semester begins (all photos taken on 07-30-2025).
Above: What the facade looks like on Lindo Paseo. Notice that every light is on inside every room and under each balcony, and that the roof railing (yes, they have spaces for sunbathing on the roof) is unfinished. Those "spikes" on the left are for a loader with forklift "tongs" that was/is parked on the street.
Below: The corner of Lindo Paseo and 55th Avenue. You can see how stark each of those balconies are. The vertical "Victory" sign is still off the building.
