What’s being built on the Central Coast?

This guide documents development projects we could trace in public records across the Five Cities and San Luis Obispo: what was proposed, what was approved, what is under construction and what has been completed since November 3, 2021.

It is drawn from a research file we maintain of permits, applications, hearing materials and environmental notices. Each project page shows its sources and the date behind its status, keeps application, approval, permit, construction and completion as separate events, and says what the records leave unclear. This guide presents selected substantial projects. For individual ADUs, small residential permits and the broader five-year inventory, use the full Coastal Development Atlas. Both resources describe their coverage gaps.

Any documented Glenn Martin Company role is disclosed on the relevant project page. We publish this because owners, buyers and tenants ask us what is going in next door, and a useful starting point is the documented scope, status and source.

Research last reviewed November 3, 2026; records cover November 3, 2021 to November 3, 2026. How the guide is built, and what it does not cover.

Statuses are tied to the cited evidence, with an “as of” date and an explanation of its basis. An undated source uses an explicitly identified research check date. A permit marked closed is not treated as proof that a whole development is finished, and an old construction schedule is never turned into a claim that building is under way today. Where a record could not be verified, the page keeps its original date and says so.
