Friends who live close by Chateau told me that the owner is Jamaican with a French wife, hence the name. Anyway they also told me that what had stalled the project was that the wall was built too close to the street and that the owner has a suit against the county claiming that he got permission. I would guess that he is in no hurry to go forward given the state of the market.

I wonder why one of our local gangs hasn't tagged that nice inviting castle wall yet? :scratch:

Do we have some proponents of medical marijuana?
Why does everyone keep calling it "medical?" Okay, I know quite a few people with chronic (pun intended) pain, who smoke it for medicinal reasons -- a few who wouldn't dream of breaking the law, or even drinking, much less doing illegal drugs. Their doctors told them that the best thing they could do to ease the pain, and gain an appetite, was to get some weed and smoke it. However, the rest of the people whom I know that smoke, do so for pure pleasure. I guess you could say that relaxing relieves stress, therefore anyone who smokes is reducing their stress levels. Hops, a key ingredient in beer, is the closest plant to the marijuana plant. Hops is an herb which gives you that relaxing sensation when drinking beer. Drinking alcohol can also help you relieve some stress.

An interesting story down here made me think of the Hotel Viridian. The owner of Bern's Steak House, which is world renowned for its steak and especially its wine list, announced last year it planned a condo-hotel with 75 units for the lot across the street from its restaurant. Well, they built the parking garage but the rest of the project is on hold indefinitely. The reason? Only a few people signed on to buy units. The entire purpose behind the condo-tel concept, apparently, is to make it easy for the developer to secure financing.
The logical thing would be for the Bern's people to convert the project into merely a hotel, but apparently it is impossible right now to get financing for this kind of project unless you are an experienced hotel developer. So the project is dead, for now.
I'm assuming this is why the Viridian property is now on the market -- the units didn't sell, and even as a hotel it's just not a viable project right now or in the near future. I imagine that D.O. will expire and that will be that. If the Bern's people can't get financing done for a hotel, then the owners of the Seagrove Market certainly will not be able to. I am guessing.
Condotels in Hogtown are $117k in the same building the team stays in. A lot less than some RVs I see.
The Ramada across from Silver Sands is/was a condotel, oddly enough. When they were selling units a couple years back, I seem to remember prices were in the $80-$110K range.
