universal being sold to abbey owners?

rumor has it that the universal in hillcrest may be sold to the owners of the abbey in west hollywood. that would be in line with what out.com says - that part-owner david cooley is scouting for locations in san diego and other cities to open abbeys across the country. i wonder what tweaks he would make - considering it was recently built, there's no need to start from scratch, but the unimpressive dance floor interior could probably use a few adjustments.
UPDATE, 08/07/2008: apparently it's not being sold to cooley for now... from san diego business journal:
Neither Universal, which EnDev opened this spring in 15,000 square feet on University Avenue, nor Top of the Cove is listed for sale.
Universal’s business has been good, and because of that, it has drawn interest from a couple of would-be buyers.
“We’ve had some interest from a couple of groups that have come through, but we’ve not taken it any further than just conversation,” he said. “If the right price comes along, however, everything is for sale. I’m a businessperson.”
