You mean the plazas not on the beach? Why would anyone rent a place that is not on the beach?

Sosúa Beach Renovations
You could be right, but a similar solution seems to work fairly well at Playa Grande.
The plazas are behind the beach and seem to show little to no progress in being built.
The issue is who will actually rent them if they ever get finished, which seems less likely each day gone by.
( I never said anything ever about plazas not on the beach, what would that have to do with anything? ).
There seems to be a Custom in the DR .. to build something half way , Pour Cement, but leave Rebar Sticking up into the sky.. and then see how much of that Rebar can be RUSTED before they continue to build .. if ever finish the Project.
We seem to be at that "How Rusty is the Rebar" stage right now..

The money dries up, gets siphoned off, project stalls, money more is allocated, those funds are despensed then rinse and repeat has been the norm in Sosua since I first started paying attention to the process over a decade ago.
Foolishly I assumed since the project appears to have the backing of not only the Minister Of Tourism Mr. David Collado but also the President that this time things would somehow be any different.
Let me be the first to admit...
I was wrong.
as I said many times just start the bulldozers up couple cranes with wrecking balls start over again
A well versed chica can aways find over night accommodations, not bad get paid for sleeping , rest asured !
Concur Same view when i walked yesterday Trashy ha;lf assed look you would think they would clean it up, Any who half the casetas on the Charimicos side
are trash half emty only the sosua end is active,,, Its a very slow high season compared to last year beach tourizim way off !!
I go to Sosua once a week for grocery shopping and there seems to be a lot more traffic and people there than last year. I guess they're not beach go'ers(?). There's a lot more people in Cabarete this year. Don't go to Cabarete in the afternoon unless you have to. Between delivery trucks and idiots double parking, traffic through Cabarete is very slow.
Maybe THAT is their Real Plan.. .Destroy Tourism on Sosua Beach so badly that no one wants to even visit such a depressing place of Rubble and Trash No matter how Nice the Water view is , if you turn around and see nothing but Trash it kind of destroys the Ambiance.
then swiftly clean up, and Build High Priced Condos with a View before anyone figures it out .
The Girls on the Stroll will be long gone by then. No Single dudes , no customers.

Very true Beach mabey slow but man traffic on high way 5 brutall even at noon time ! backed up from Castillios to Sosua, lot of heavy trucks ect,,,,,, Forgettabout it at 5 pm rush hour !
No idea if this is the case in RD, but on other Caribbean islands this is often the norm because as long as it is not finished, i.e. there is still rebar sticking out indicating building is still ongoing) you do not have to pay property taxes yet.
The other reason is often people build brick by brick over the course of years when some extra cash is available. This will not be the issue with big projects like this ofcourse.
The Plazas at each end of Sosua Beach are owned by the government, so taxes on them do not apply. They are just not serious about working on them and finishing them before the subsequent millenia.
The plazas they are building are not on the beach, they are up the hill from the beach. I am being sarcastic. These are not plazas on the beach, they are plazas near the beach.
The casetas were moved further back than where they were, but they were still on the beach and you didn't have to climb up a hill to get to them.
I'm not going to get into a back and forth with you over such an unimportant matter, but as far as I remember they certainly are up the hill from the beach, at the same level as the car park.
