Luxury Hotel that never was
Another part finished luxury golf development is facing financial issues. Harbor Station in Virginia. All I can say is it is about time the Federal reserve printed some more money or we are going to see more of these things collapse. A few county authorities sensibly refused to allow golf courses to be built until after the residential development was completed, but Prince William County apparently needed the backsheesh and the first part completed was the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course which was to be followed by 4,000+ McMansions and the usual conference center, luxury hotel etc.

We have covered a number of similar developments recently and many are running into difficulties, including the Cherokee Run Country Club in Georgia, and the Laurel Cove in Tennessee.
