"In the wake of it, it seemed ... important to build something that was consistent with the 337 project," Price said.

The Prices will live in one of the eight units, which range from 1,200 to 2,400 square feet. The building will display four panels on its exterior featuring murals done by local artists that will be changed out every six months, he said.

"The skin will be always changing," Price said. "(It) will hearken back to the 337 Project."

Although he's excited about the condominium development's completion, Price said witnessing the art project's demolition was bitter sweet. He's glad, though, that the artists and art appreciators in attendance April 5 were able to see the 337 Project's interior again as the bulldozer tore through walls room by room, exposing the paintings that had remained hidden for nearly the past year just before they were sent tumbling to the rubble below.

"All this art got one last encore," he said.
