That is an expansion of Sosua Ocean Village southward to Rout 5. It is a moderately large project when viewed from space, if that is the spot you mean.
Don't think is part of the expansion of Sosua Ocean Village (laguna city), see the map below, land closed 4 sides, seem to be more a commercial building and not residencial

Looks more like a supermarket or industrial building. Could be Chinese! :rolleyes:

Thanks for the information that it is likely a new Playero. That was a curveball I didn't hear about.
Yet another supermarket. Hmmm. There is supposed to be one in the plans for El Rocon area across from Costa Azul as well.

Well, with all the over-construction of homes in the area, I suppose an over-construction of supermarkets is inevitable.

Think of the money the Casa Linda courtesy bus will save by making just a short trip
Maybe Sirena will now understand that they will need to finally improve in order to compete if in fact it is built as a Playaro Supermarket. Because Nelson certainly knows that his market share will get even bigger from the areas of Sea Horse, Casa Linda, Lomas Mironas, and Perla Marina just to name a few.

Is that really happening? Another Janets there has been the rumor since the project started but no signage yet.

Sirena has had renovations to their store in Sosua which have take forever even in Dominican time, but many feel it is not better than before. I don't think Sirena are going to change to try and match a couple of local Playeros because they are a countrywide chain and have their established style.

At any rate, more options are better for the consumer. More consumers are already clogging our two lane one horse town roads.
