Being built on the old Molina De Agua site . Aesthetics aside - it would be a prime location to reside .

Probably no more so than the original condos were when they were built.

It really is a blight on the landscape, never more apparent than when you go to one of the restaurants on the hill overlooking the bay (like the Vista Grill)...so sad they let this happen...really opens the door for more monsters.

Actually I scoff each time I see it on the webcam (haven't had the "honour" of seeing it face to face), it's such a clear sign of corruption and complete lack of aesthetics and city planning, plus just plain bad taste, and then to think they killed Molino de Agua for THAT!... Anyway, the market (supply and demand) has no brain and this proves it.

You can thank the developers of Agua Molina, who tore down the quaint hotel and have built this huge, ugly, view blocking monstrasity. First Time I saw it I nearly died - how sad that the city leaders allowed such a huge building to go up covering once was one of the most beautiful views in town....shame on you PV leaders!
