Thanks for posting the pictures! Progress seems slow at the moment, and hard to have progress when there is no one working!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> ...although it could be the picture was taken after hours though. Here's hoping they get it more in gear..

I really don't think anyone here would have any idea as to the answer to that question.

gotaluvit said: The plan called for 8 establishments and there looks like room for that many but I am curious...who gets first dibs? Obviously the way they are going the south end will be up and running first. Do the previous owners have 'slots'. I mean who gets the first place, the second, etc.? I doubt the south one will open first. Instead they will probably all be available to open when the whole project is done. Which would make sense to me.

Well, that's true, yes, but concrete is MUCH better. There's a reason why almost all older houses in Florida are block or brick.

Well the construction is certainly going to be BETTER than what was there, and moving the structures back from the ocean will help also. However, I had actually thought what they were going to be putting up was some type of a pre-fab deal, which I had 'assumed' would be some kind of poured concrete walls. I guess we'll see what happens from here.

Yes, Eric saw that also, that there is a lot of rebar there. Possibly that is the explanation.

arehouse said: There does seem to be a lot of rebar still on the ground. Could it be that these wood walls are forms for poured concrete walls? And the rebar will be used inside the forms?
Just a thought.... That was my thinking too.

One thing that was nice about the old buildings was the open side and front walls allowing for flow of breezes with each being "free-standing" (not attached to another business).....Wondering in the pictures of buildings above, if windows will be cut out on side or if just the end facing ocean will be open to air....
Semi-related question: Do any taxis drop off & pick up cruise people at Pedro's now?

thanks for posting the pictures! Definitely looks to be just wooden buildings, and not forms for pouring concrete walls. Oh well. At least they are moving along.

Progress is happening there for sure. It definitely could be open before our next trip ends. Hopefully they will open as each unit is completed and not wait until they are all finished. The operators need to get back in business and make some money after the long absence.
