El Condado has also been the scene of tragedies such as the [[Karl Wallenda]] televised tight rope fall in [[1978]], and the [[Dupont Plaza Hotel]] fire which killed 97 people on [[December 31]], [[1986]].

El Condado's success as a popular residential and tourist spot is taking a toll in the infrastructure and residents. While properties in El Condado tend to be expensive, it is also often traffic congested and residents have to contend with high noise levels even at late hours due to the nightclubs and other attractions. Plans are currently underway to attempt to alleviate the traffic congestion with the construction of new bridges, demolition of the convention center to make way for a park which leads to the sea (A newer bigger convention center with better access is being built just outside of the district) and other projects such as the "Condado Beach Trio" which aims to restore historic hotels, among these the [[Condado Plaza]] and [[La Concha]] hotel.
