And in more on Santa Barbara Real Estate…

The long awaited Ritz Carlton project at the foot of State St may be moving forward. Bill Levy paid the city $1.4 million in fees and pulled a building permit on the project. If the fees hadn’t been paid the approval on the project would have expired.

The pulling of permits is a significant move and makes it certainly appear at least as though the project will now move forward. If the project does get built, at $175 million it would be the biggest, most expensive commercial project in Santa Barbara’s history.

Unfortunately the financing on the project is still in limbo awaiting a $115 million construction loan. Mr. Levy has 6 months to begin construction on the project, but could still get a six month extension on the permit.
