Summary
San Luis Square is a multi-building mixed-use project in downtown San Luis Obispo, on the block between Marsh and Higuera Streets beside the historic Jack House and Gardens. The city describes it as 52 residential units, 36 hotel rooms, 13,500 square feet of commercial space and a semi-underground parking lift system with 69 spaces. The developer's marketing describes ground-floor retail, a public plaza and pedestrian paths connecting Marsh and Higuera Streets, with one building, Brickhouse, offered as 29 condominiums from studios to two-bedroom units.
The city has listed the project as under construction since at least April 2024, when a city summary of hotel projects reported by KSBY said San Luis Square had multiple phases and buildings, that some buildings were already under construction, and that the permit application for the 36-room hotel building had not yet been submitted. The September 2026 city tracker still lists the whole project as under construction.
The records do not say which buildings are finished, which are still being built, or whether the hotel building has since been permitted.

What the records leave open
- The city tracker stage was not confirmed by a site inspection or a permit-file review. The tracker does not publish a construction start, a completion date or a project cost, and does not say which buildings are complete.
- An older city news item cited in the research summary gave 63 residential units; the current tracker gives 52. The 29-condominium Brickhouse figure is one building within the 52.
- Whether the hotel building has received its building permit since April 2024 is not documented in the records checked.
- The applicant or developer is not named in the city record; the sales page does not name the development entity.
