Abandoned Treetops Apartment Complex- San Bruno, Ca.
This 308 unit complex is on what was once the Pacific Heights Shopping Center- a shopping center housing Fox Theater (single screen), Thrifty, a hardware store, a 5 and dime and a Shell Station. The struggling shopping center was scrapped in favor of the apartment complex. But the complex was built poorly and developed mold. The complex was closed a handful of years ago and a plan to build a larger (500+ unit) complex. Much debate surrounded the plans which did not include enough parking spaces to even fit city standards and after several years, any plans to demolish and rebuild seem to have stalled.
The complex sits completely vacant and in total disrepair. Windows are broken, front doors are open and in the back of the complex, the balconies are falling off. There appear to be squatters, or there were at one time.
