Progress downtown living

Canopy Park, at Canopy and N streets, will have 254 apartments. Since 2010, when the Downtown Lincoln Association counted 754 residential units and a population of about 1,200, interest in downtown housing has surged.

Randy Hawthorne has lived near 14th and P streets for 22 years. "It’s become definitely much more a 24-hour city. It’s all just right here."

LivRed, at Ninth and M streets, will market its apartments to students and young professionals.
