I’ve noticed that in every city we’ve been to—Cusco, Lima, Paracas—there are many buildings that have been partially constructed. Often, the bottom floor is complete (but perhaps vacant) and the top floor(s) still have exposed rebar and are roofless. This trend appears to be for both residential and commercial structures.

In addition to taxes, it’s pretty easy to add a second floor of the rebar is already meshed in to the construction. It’s harder to add it on afterwards. It’s common to build one floor and then plan to expand once you need the space.
