Maybe they better concentrate on getting tourists instead of building condos of which the majority will be empty most of the year therefore making JD look like a ghost town.

They're probably waiting for the market to set itself based on potential owners interest. They know what they want. They know what they'll settle for. Right now, poor vacationers across the country are probably being subjected to 1 hour seminars with the promise of a free t-shirt and drink coupon to attend. Next up? 3am infomercials. "You too can be a property owner in the lovely Dominican Republic. Call now. Operators are standing by."*any updates on this new project... prices *:disappoin:disappoin:disappoin:knockedou *
I am staying at a beach front condo here in Juan Dolio for the month. Very nice, good rental price. So much potential here on the main beach front street but so many properties here are in such disrepair, half completed torn up dumps, garbage all over the street, no landscaping, too many empty condos, pretty empty other than locals on the weekend...which is fine.

Which side of Juan Dolio are you on, the "older, village" side or the "newer Miami Beach" side?I am staying at a beach front condo here in Juan Dolio for the month. Very nice, good rental price.

I was in Juan Dolio yesterday, for a drive by and lunch. None of the locals, mostly expats in the know, have any information on this project (LeParc) or it's proposed location. It's not going up in "new" Juan Dolio or "old" Juan Dolio. It may be further down, on the route to Guayacanes, but that is just pure speculation because nobody I ran into in Juan Dolio knows.
What I can say, is that there is work taking place on the "skeleton tower" next to Albatros. Very scary indeed. This skeleton tower has been sitting there for I don't know how long. Every person, expat and Dominican, that I have spoken to over the last few years, has told me that this project was cancelled and condemned, because the frame was constructed using below standard concrete and framing techniques, and the owners/builders took off to parts unknown. Again how long this concrete tower has existed is anybody's guess, just sitting there exposed to the elements. Well now, it has been fenced off, and there is some concrete flashing occurring on the upper levels. Not reinforcement of any kind, but just flashing. No ads. No signage. This tower actually seems to lean, and I know of many people that were concerned that it may come crashing down if a huge storm were to hit. I myself, never walked on that side of the street. I was going to ask the workers a few questions, but hunger set in, and I opted to go to lunch.
Some pictures would be great.
No shade to be found on the rooftop terrace. They're going to wind up with "chicharr?n de gringo" up there.
