LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A building that has sat empty since the Northridge earthquake is rising from the ashes of that disaster 26 years later as a shiny beacon of much-needed residential development.

A quarter-century and $25 million in renovations later, the 14-story, 194-residential unit was given a festive welcome by neighbors in the revitalized community, which has enjoyed a flurry or retail and residential growth in recent years.
