Should have written "Embarc" too,- as that is what Club Intrawest is now called.

I can't comment about the lights but I can say how disappointed I was when I returned to the bay recently (after being away while it was under construction) and saw that building. What an incredible eyes sore. At the very least, it should be repainted with some trees introduced to soften the horrible façade.

It is appropriately located in front of an earlier monument to corruption. We may have to rename the hill.

Hola
Has the building ever been occupied? Every time I go by I have never seen anyone there. It appears to have been finished for quite a while now. Is it a functioning base or just a free resort destination for naval types and there friends?

From what I understand it is supposed to be living quarters. Perhaps it is being used as a vacation facility. The whole land swap and instant construction was rife with anomalies. Another bitter legacy of the administration of Eric Fernández Ballesteros.

It's butt-ugly, but at least they put up some solar panels.

Agreed. Disappointing piece of architecture sitting right there. Maybe they can paint out the orange. Not pleasant to look at and should an enemy wish to do away with the competition, orange is not a camouflage color. Just saying.

Fran, we don't have nuclear weapons pointed at us, we have no foreign enemies and no countries other than the USA and France have ever attacked México. France now offers easy access migrant worker visas for a year to any Mexican. The USA not even close. Just sayin'...
