United States, 21st Mar 2025 – VF Developments, LLC, a minority and female owned and run company, has completed renovations on “The Normandie” a 1960’s midcentury modern multifamily community. The apartment community features fourteen newly renovated rental homes with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans.
VF Developments, LLC acquired the Los Angeles multifamily property located at 111 N Normandie Avenue, Los Angeles, California with the plan of repositioning and adding capital improvements. 111 N Normandie Avenue, located in the heart of central Los Angeles, features a 14-unit, two-story low-rise building with exterior enhancements that include a 1960s retro dingbat sign that complements the natural materials used. Blood red accents the original style wood façade along with main entry doors.
Inspired by midcentury Modernism architecture, these newly renovated rental homes are located in the heart of Koreatown, and minutes to hip Echo Park and Silverlake, Hollywood, and thriving Downtown Los Angeles. 111 N. Normandie Avenue, located just minutes from the 101 Freeway and Larchmont Village, features a fourteen-unit, two-story low-rise building with enhanced modern architecture and a gray cement shade base and accents of earth tone colors.
Carefully restored and designed by a renowned LA designer, these late 1960s modern luxury rental homes feature keyless entry door locks to spacious one, two and three-bedroom floor plans with newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen boasts sparkling white stone quartz countertops with brand new self-closing cabinetry and high-end stainless-steel refrigerators with matching gas cooktop with oven and microwave. iRing doorbells with a smart home video security camera are also included. There’s a community washer and dryer on site. Bathrooms feature porcelain tiled bath tubs and glass shower doors. Each rental home also includes central A/C cooling and heating with recessed lights with luxury style cellular shade window blinds and distressed wood plank floors.
111 North Normandie Avenue has a Walk Score of 86 out of 100. This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot. 111 North Normandie Avenue is a 14-minute walk from the Metro B Line (Red) at the Vermont / Beverly Station stop. This location is in the Wilshire Center – Koreatown neighborhood in Los Angeles. Nearby parks include South Serrano Avenue Historic District, Wilton Historic District and Shatto Recreation Center.
The apartment homes are managed by Drake Property Management and featured on https://www.drakereg.com/for-lease as well as VF Developments’ website https://vf-developments.com/ and on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vfdevelopments/ and on Zumper https://www.zumper.com/pros/vf-developments-llc/vfdevelopments
VF Developments LLC, led by Victoria Vu, restored these rental homes to its original 1960s condition with upgraded enhancements and features. Ms. Vu, managing partner of VF Developments, LLC, is a fashion designer turned real estate developer specializing in distressed multifamily apartments throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. Ms. Vu graduated from The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.
Ms. Vu stated “Restoring a 1960s era apartment community to its original condition was a challenge as well as a treat. These luxury rental homes feature key-less entry door locks entering you into spacious one, two, and three-bedroom floorplans. There are bold designer touches throughout from the white stone quartz kitchen countertops upgraded with high-end stainless steel Whirlpool refrigerators with matching appliance package. Our bathrooms have been fully renovated with the spa as inspiration. Pebble floors complement the brand-new oversized tubs with glass shower doors and designer gold hardware. This property is truly a gem with its central location to hip Echo Park and Silverlake, Hollywood, and thriving Downtown Los Angeles, and everything that Los Angeles has to offer.”
James L. Kemple, a U.S military veteran, general contractor, and the owner of Patriot Painting & Construction, Inc., completed the exterior and interior renovations. He noted “We were able to legally reconfigure the original studio, one-, and two-bedroom floor plans to one-, two-, and three-bedroom layout like our project at 920 Everett Street in Chinatown and 1980 Park Grove near USC. This greatly helps maximizing the space for our future residents and assisting with the housing shortage. The team that completed the renovations on the units were entirely locally based minority vendors, employees, and contractors. This was the same team we used on the reconfigurations at 920 Everett Street near Chinatown and 1980 Park Grove near USC. We are proud to create jobs in the USC and DTLA area for minorities, significantly improve the community, and provide more affordable housing.”
Victoria Vu commented, “We are truly grateful for the opportunity to complete the renovations on 111 N Normandie, bring the property to market, and lease it up to provide much needed affordable housing to the city of Los Angeles. This project was similar to our project at 920 Everett Street near Downtown Los Angeles in the Chinatown area where we were able to legally convert a two bedroom to a three bedroom to maximize the space for our future residents. We strive to provide our residents with class A building finishes at affordable rents. As a first generation Asian American, myself and the team strive to enhance the communities around us and create modern living spaces for our future residents to call home.”
Kim Vu, renovation and maintenance manager for VF Developments, LLC, added, “After successful renovations at 920 Everett Street in Chinatown and 1980 Park Grove near USC we are excited to bring these units to market and welcome in our future residents to enjoy the space we have created. The apartment homes are high-quality finish with all new appliances.”

Funding Round Led by OakStone Ventures to Drive Infrastructure Growth, Real-Time AI Optimization, and Strategic Partnerships Ahead of Solana Launch
Sheridan, Wyoming, 17th Jun 2025 – SparkChain AI, a trailblazer in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) sector, has successfully raised $10.8 million in a funding round led by OakStone Ventures. This strategic investment will enable the company to scale its decentralized AI compute network, optimize real-time AI processing, and form key partnerships, positioning SparkChain AI as a leading infrastructure layer for the Solana ecosystem and beyond.
Addressing AI Compute Challenges
As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at breakneck speed, the demand for accessible, scalable, and affordable computing resources has surged. Traditional cloud-based systems are increasingly under pressure, suffering from high costs, latency, centralization risks, and inefficient scalability.
SparkChain AI addresses these pain points by harnessing unused internet bandwidth and idle computing resources through its Sovereign Data Rollup architecture. This decentralized model redistributes compute power across a global network of participants, reducing infrastructure costs and making AI computation accessible for developers, enterprises, and researchers alike.
“AI is the new electricity—but only if the infrastructure is open and scalable,” said Ethan Cole, Co-Founder and CEO of SparkChain AI. “This investment allows us to accelerate our mission to unlock real-time AI capabilities through a permissionless, decentralized compute network.”
Investor Confidence in a Decentralized Future
The funding round, led by OakStone Ventures, signals growing confidence in DePIN infrastructure and its role in the future of AI development.
“Centralized cloud providers are no longer sufficient for the pace and scale at which AI is growing,” said Michelle Royston, General Partner at OakStone Ventures. “SparkChain AI is building the foundation for decentralized, intelligent networks where every user can be both a contributor and a beneficiary. We are thrilled to support this new era of compute.”
SparkChain AI’s approach aligns with broader trends toward data sovereignty, edge computing, and modular blockchain infrastructure, all crucial pillars for the next generation of AI-driven applications.
Scaling for the Next Phase
Following this capital injection, SparkChain AI is entering a high-growth phase focused on infrastructure scaling, protocol optimization, and community expansion. With the upcoming launch on Solana, the team is targeting deeper integration with high-performance, low-cost on-chain environments.
Key Initiatives Include:
Global Node Expansion: Grow SparkChain AI decentralized network of contributors to increase aggregate compute power and bandwidth availability.
Real-Time AI Optimization: Deploy protocol-level improvements to support low-latency, high-throughput AI tasks such as inference, data labeling, and synthetic generation.
Security Enhancements: Integrate ZK-proofs, encryption at the edge, and validator slashing mechanisms to protect workloads and ensure data integrity.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborate with DePIN ecosystems, AI research institutions, and Solana-native dApps to power decentralized compute marketplaces.
About SparkChain AI
SparkChain AI is an AI-powered DePIN rollup that turns idle bandwidth and compute resources into decentralized AI infrastructure. Through a network of nodes, routers, and intelligent data processors, SparkChain AI restructures and monetizes the world’s unstructured data. Participants earn $SPARK tokens by contributing to the network, while developers and enterprises benefit from scalable, low-cost AI compute for training, inference, and data management.
SparkChain AI is pioneering a future where AI development is community-driven, censorship-resistant, and infrastructure-light—unlocking a new era of permissionless intelligence.
