Loreto Bay is for sale - Replay is out
Alvarez & Marsal is now the interim manager while they hope to find a buyer. Loreto Bay Co. continues to "actively pursue new capital". What
else can they say - they've been doing that since Day One.
This is a thread from a discussion forum of Loreto Bay homeowners:
http://loretobay.ning.com/forum/topics/replay-gone
and here is the new website posted for Loreto Bay homeowners explaining that their management company RePlay is gone and that the project is up for
sale again:

All these guys want new capitol,
But, they don't want to use it for the project,
Only for their pockets.
It is such an old, tried and true, scam that seems to still work

Some related info on another website is that Carlos Slim is one of three current bidders on LB. Do you think David Butterfield will show slides of
his successful, sustainable LB project? He's such a phony.
"As far as potential owners go, Slim's appeal lies in his business successes and the fact that he is a Mexican with an obvious love of his country.
What better steward for the original dream and vision for Loreto Bay? And speaking of that original dream and vision, David Butterfield and Slim will
both be speaking at a Gaining Ground conference in Guanajuato, Mexico, in April. The conference will focus on sustainability and the future of the
real estate market. Coincidence? There is also information on the Internet that Slim has bought up a good bit of Baja real estate, including land in
and around the Bay of Conception near Mulege.
The other bidders are purported to be Spano Partners, currently heading up the Nopolo Marriott project, an unnamed Bay area company or Re lay - take your pick.
We're also getting conflicting information on construction activity in Agua Viva. According to Laurie with TCC, only skeleton crews are at work in the
development, including Agua Viva. But Kelli who writes the Watch and Learn blog states in her latest post that "crews are working hard in Agua Viva",
but work on the Paseo has not yet resumed. Of course, those observations are most likely a matter of perspective, with Laurie having a different take
on the level of construction in her role with TCC. "

Jim Spano...
...he's a smart guy. While I don't want to get involved with what is going on in Loreto, I have spent some time with him in my part of Baja Sur just
having fun. We flew into La Purisima airstrip a few months ago. Left to right: Josh Van Egmond, Pilot and Newport Beach Lifeguard Captain, Todd
Clement, Aircraft owner and President of Wide Open Baja, Jim Spano, Jaime Adkins, Scorpion Bay Legend and Juan del Rio. Spano really loves Baja
Sur...so much different than the East Coast he said. Loreto is a different kind of challenge I guess. Nice to put a face to the name.

I first met Jim when we hosted him, Jesse James and a few other folks at Juan y Juan's last year. What a interesting time that was for us!
If you want to read a recent interview with Jim check it out here
FYI, we're planning a book signing for Carlos Fiesta's new book at Juan y Juan's when it is published as well!

ago. all walked away. bad landing combined with some big rocks. sheared the gear and prop.

There has been 10+ years of actual reality regarding development in the Loreto/Nopolo area. It has bombed for reasons that will never go away. Jim
Spano is out of his league in Loreto. What would he bring to the table that others - with more money and experience - haven't, to make Marbella and LB
a success?

Just to keep this project going takes MAJOR resources.
However much I dislike this development and its 'fullofit' developers, it would be a crying shame to have it end up like another Puerto Escondido,
with many unfinished structures everywhere.

especially since you live right on top of them. I thought there was a law where large tracts of beachfront have to be developed to completion
according to an approved proposal before the sale is approved?? and the resources of the potential buyer must be proven if it is a
foreign person or entity?? or does that only apply to the little guys?
anyway I don't have much confidence they will carry this through in your neighborhood. they also do not have confidence in themselves as
coincidentally they pulled the plug on their own homeowner forum, the one that wilderone linked in the first post where homeowners were discussing the
management changes and their frustrations. couldn't take the heat the homeowners were putting on them or what??

Since you are right there .....
How about using the unfinished structures for chickens ???
Then you will have free eggs ...
And it would be the only productive thing that has ever happened to that land 
As long as there are persons stupid enough to make down payments for something that is not built , these phony projects will continue to despoil the
land.

it didn't work all day yesterday and was put back online after I posted that it was gone. coincidence? the hosting site said that "the owner took it
offline" it just seemed fishy to me no pun intended.
