Although I am one of the few tenants to have lived here since these apartments were brand new, I had often wondered how long until they would be turned into condos like so many others communities in San Diego. It appears that time as come. The City of San Diego posted a notice outside our building advising an application has been filed to convert the 970 residential units to condominiums. The project number is 105158, project name: Promenade @ Rio Vista TM. The notice lists Jeffrey W. Robles the City Project Manager at his phone number of 619-446-5225 and email address JWRobles@sandiego.gov. You may contact Linda Kaufman of the Mission Valley Unified Planning Organization at 619-400-0136 or email lkaufman@hgfenton.com to inquire about the community planning group meeting dates, times, and location for community review of this project. We have enjoyed our stay here and would hate to be forced out of this complex. Please help us stand up and say "no more" to these apartment conversions. If you are moving in, unfortunately you might be out looking sooner than you think for another apartment.

I called the number about the notice and they told me that it wasn't converting. They said they had applied for something called mapping?!?(Anyone know what that is?) I also talked to a friend of mine and they live at Archstone by IKEA, and they told me they received the same notice a few years ago and we all know they are still renting. With the new home sales market slowing, and the concersion market doing even worse I doubt anything will come of the notices. Please respond if you have heard something else.

I had the same concern when I moved in a few weeks ago. What raised a big red flag in my mind was that the leasing agent mentioned nothing about the conversion until I was handed a stack of paperwork to sign, with the lease, on our move-in date. It felt sort of like buying a used car. I questioned her and she assured me that they were simply "probing the idea" and it would be a year from now, bare minimum, before anything was done. I'm pretty mobile anyway, as long as I can stay here for a year that will be fine. I've already been kicked out of one apartment due to condo-conversion, so I'm still nervous about it. Guess we'll all cross that bridge when we come to it.
