The endless square miles to expand for decades are not part of Temecula. Riverside county and zoned/used for wine country. That is not available/build-able land.
The complex on Margarita is a senior condo complex that the owners defaulted on.
The city has already begun work taking over the complex and finishing the development.
Yes, there are a lot of CR vacancies. Commercial Real Estate is in a world of hurt.
There are about 4 new openings in those empty spots in the mall (Lazy Dog Cafe, a sunglass place, yogurt place and Apple store). I don’t have any data on the rest of the leased space but it is definitely going to be unfilled for a while.
Haven’t noticed a Tijuana odor there or anywhere in town. I usually smell BBQ from Lucille’s. It is very possible you were getting a whiff of yourself.
