Development south of Rosarito

BajaNomad - 3-1-2005 at 03:22 PM

I only post this as I find it interesting...

So, I am at this exact moment sitting in the In and Out restaurant in Pacific Beach (and connecting via my wireless connection thank you) - and 3 gentlemen next to me are discussing major development plans in the Las Rocas area south of Rosarito. Major plans, satellite images, mock-ups, architect plans (from Rosarito) - and the discussion is over financing, etc.

Point being this... the development in this area appears to be on a trend of "you ain't seen nothin' yet."

Good for some :yes: and not for others :no: .

I just thought it was an interesting coincidence to be seated next this discussion (especially considering the location) - and thought I'd share... see if there were any other comments about development in this area to be made by others.

I personally dont want to see any more developments in this area. It seems everytime I drive to the border there is something new going up. Just south of Bajamar there is a new overpass that was recently being built. Does anyone know what that is all about. There has to be something being developed there but I cant see it.:(

that is where Sempra Energy is building its LNG terminal, although the ownership of the land is being disputed in Mexico City D.F. court.

The lawsuit hasn't stopped the work as of today, when I passed by.

Think they are contemplating more of this?

Forgive me as I shot this picture from the window of a moving bus. I work with a very conservative hard nosed building and saftey division in our county. I don't think this would ever pass.:o

That picture is just east and north of New Port and she has been there for over 15 years. My understanding is that she was originally in TJ and was moved because neighbors objected. When she first landed here, unfinished, she was draped in clothe.
It is my understanding that Sepmra is working on their plant south of Bajamar at Costa Azul.
I think the area Nomad is talking about is where the new highway from Tecate comes in near Popolta.
Anyway part of our decision to sell our home of 26 years, in La Salina, was due to the handwriting being on the wall as far as a solid build up from Playa Tijuana to La Mision and in just a very few years.
Hard to believe that Rene's at south end of Rosarito was basically the end of civilization deserted until you hit the Half Way House and then nothing until San Miguel. And it ain't goooa get any better because---where are they going to put another north-south road.

Maybe Baja Cactus will update us on how the Diamante Del Mar project is going in El Rosario. We heard they hit up against the typical "Ejido" problem. and have been in limbo for a while. At least we don't have takeoff noise from the jets at their international airport.
Bernie, we ran across a friend of yours who says you rode a honda while a cop.

Never a Honda always a Hog! Best damn job I ever had. As a Motor Sergeant I could wander around the whole city at will with the wind in my face.

Within ten years every meter of land west of the toll road, south of Rosarito and north of Bajamar will be developed. Million dollar + homes beach front. 750-350 thou + two and three rows back. All of the campos will be gone. No more rental property.

Two, twenty story condo high rises are going in north of campo Reynoso. 40 upscale homes and condos just south of New Port hotel. Two more twelve story towers planned for Calafia. And this is just for starters.

Sad to me Dave, but unfortunately I believe your are spot on.

Used to get angry with the Ejidos for their legal games and tying up land in court--Now it looks like they are the last buffer to the paving of Baja.

FYI

Baja Sur is building much faster than Baja Norte. Roads are being built, existing roads are being paved, and there are many people who visit their friends here that also buy property and build.
Orange County all over again to be sure.
