What happened to 5505 Lindo Paseo?

If the reader remembers our article last August, the three story fratbouse at 5505 Lindo Paseo was left abandoned. In the standard practice for SDSU, the eyesore has since been vaporized and the Kappa-Sigma chapter driven under.

Above: taken from the Kappa-Sigma national website's Chapter Listing page. It was never a gigantic frat.

Below: A view from the street. The frathouse and it's underground garage have been utterly demolished. A comparison shot from late July of 2023 is below that.

Below:  What is actually behind the fence, the beginnings of a possible underground parking structure. It is impossible to find just what sort of building is going up on the site; the constructor has no mention of it on their website, and the University is mum.

As you can see, what they have built is pretty basic. It is not clear if this is a subbasement with the garage on the ground floor, or if they are abandoning having cars on the site entirely. They have had about eight months to get something done and this is all they have accomplished.

Above: As the reader can tell, I had to stick the camera over the fence. You can see more of the structure in the pit that is a possible enclosed stairwell.

Below: Who the constructor is. I was there on a workweek and nothing was going on, a sign that this project is underfunded or has reached a bottleneck or that something else undesirable is happening in back rooms.

Coda

I will continue looking at this property, but I don't have a good feeling that this will be completed this year. Possibly the meltdown Dahn Shaulis predicted from lack of students (because the student cohort from the economic crisis years of 2007 to 2009 is much smaller) is happening just that much faster, and that is effecting everything. Time will tell.
