Eventually, more buildings started popping up and Lawashiba started to expand. Once the Blue Line was started, Lawashiba starting growing a lot more. In late 2019, Lawashiba really started to explode in development when GPS J4325 built the first road near Hawthorne. After that road was built, the area it was built in was called Westlake and the other part of Lawashiba was called Central Lawashiba. A toll road, the V-1, was planned to connect Central Lawashiba to Westlake via a tunnel under Lawashiba International Airport.
