cond-no

the inevitable condo building slowdown is happening, and the UT is on it. among the deceased projects is triangle in way-east village. however, the other projects mentioned, including what i thought was a permanently-stopped atmosphere on fifth (just north of downtown) all seem to either be re-starting or modifying. the article doesn't mention the demise of biarritz across from balboa park, but the developer says that one will start up again in the fall.

jay and i were trying to think of other projects that are looking sketchy, other than cosmo square near the ballpark, and pier in little italy, but you could probably say that about any project that hasn't been started yet. given the uncertainty, it wouldn't be surprising if the condo high-rise count in downtown is not much different in 2010 than it is now.
