Tacoaddict Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Some of these projects have bigger problems than covid. While covid has slowed things down, some were in a major stall well before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is their website https://www.entornolaguna.com/ I saw them working there last week too. Traffic was backed up and I was looking at the construction site, with workers, for several minutes. I believe it was last Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Perhaps the hard hats and vests are the structural engineers trying to solve the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like La Pueblita has been pretty much at a standstill for several months. The casitas appear to be pretty much finished but the apartments are a very long way from completion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i also remember that development beiing caught in the Pesos crisis of 1994/95 But maybe the SAT construction is related to construction quality and now the Pandemic crisis, a double whammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 If it is ever finished just imagine what the additional traffic will do to an area which is already beyond my comprehension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringal Posted May 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 IF it's ever finished and occupied, the positive is that it would be residential rather than commercial, and thus, would generate less traffic from that location than a group of businesses.

Apartments above and behind Pre the Pandemic i thoight the project had some merit as an investment and considered making a purchase, but never took the time to obtain any details.

Ferret Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Well, if you go to the MLS pages, you can still buy one if you are so inclined. There are six for sale. Delivery date December 2021. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted May 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I posted from lack of information....so not much residential and mostly commercial and GREAT increase in traffic. It's just as well that it's not going anywhere for now. December 2021? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a better location for those of us east of their older branch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
777 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I live behind th construction site next to Walmart. I have spoken to the head engineer, who was here a few days ago. He said the money has come in. This company has projects in Guadalajara. What they did in the past was bring their team in from Guadalajara daily. They probably need to finis what they are doing in Guad. Small taks are being worked on now. A worker there estimated the work will begin agin in Sept. TIME WILL TELL. The engineer said the plan is complete the commercial - 2nd, 3rd floor condos first and then the building on Colon. No plans to finish th 3rd building in the back. I've been told the company doing this has an excellent reputation. Finance has been thr problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
