The mammoth BayView development in Suttons Bay is plagued with problems, including accusations of shoddy workmanship and unpaid contractors.

The project, unprecedented in its scope, would add 500 new homes to Suttons Bay. But according to this Leelanau Enterprise piece, residents have complained about the quality of the construction, while local contractors have gone unpaid and have filed liens with the county. One woman who paid over $700,000 (that's right, seven hundred thousand dollars) for her condo recently won an award reimbursing her for that amount for defects in its construction. And local contractors, including Northport Nursery and Leelanau Redi-Mix have claimed that they are owed thousands of dollars by the downstate developer of the project.
