New Apartment Complex Taking Shape in West Hempstead [Photos]

Developer expects construction to be complete by Fall 2012

Almost exactly one year ago the West Hempstead community of the crime-infested Courtesy Hotel.

Now, in its place, the four-story apartment complex, West 130, has really started to take shape. Recently, local photographer Lou Minutoli captured these impressive overhead shots of construction at the Hempstead Avenue site. (Click through the photo gallery above.)

You can see the frame of the building is nearing completion. The developer, Mill Creek Residential Trust, expects the construction to be complete later this year so tenants could start moving in as soon as Fall 2012.
