Saugatuck -
Despite the fact that there are still pending permit issues, the Padnos', with the help of their developer Cottage Home (spoiler alert - these homes are NOT cottages), have begun constructing the first two homes that will be part of the controversial NorthShores development. The portion of development still in limbo is the proposed man-made marina, which has been tied up with the US Army Corp of Engineers and a historic properties review.
The architecture of the houses will be disappointingly predictable in their McMansion-esque design, judging by the first model home. I guess that they are giving the people what they want and will make a fortune from this, though. It seems like they wanted to get shovels in the ground asap on this development to convey to those opposed that, one way or another, this thing is happening so deal with it.
