San Luis Obispo Condo Project Officially "Abandoned"




The setting sun outlines the empty, not even half finished condo's on the hillside of Rockview Place in San Luis Obispo. Evidence of sub-contractors stopped work in the middle of whatever they were doing-flashing and waterproofing decks, papering the building for stucco, empty frames for windows on some, and debris litters the site.

Newtimes, a weekly entertainment paper, not normally the breaking news soursce I look to for construction news, has an article this week written by Patrick Howe and Patrick Barbieri about Rockview being declared officially "Abandoned" by the City of San Luis Obispo.

The project is trapped between a rock and a hard place, no pun intended, after delayed building and a down turned market caused the project to crash when investors of the project stopped receiving payments.

My prediction that this will ebd up being a massive construction defect project will surely turn true if this project doesn't get in gear soon. It's rotting and wasting away in the suna and elements everyday.
