St. Maarten Private Eye

It is my understanding the Barbaon has not received permits and excavation was stopped once before when the part of the new excavtion collpased.
It is also my understanding that the project has been halted due to lack of sales. Sub contractors that have been quoting on work have closed their files on this project.
Aquairius is also in the same boat. no sales = no work. The project is at a virtual standstill. This one is particularly disburing in that the partially built structures will quickly deteriorate with all the salt spary and will result is substandard and rotting buildings if covered over. The Barbaron project, at this stage is incredibly dangerous to those living above it and anyone that may be standing or working underneath the excavted hillside.
Cay Bay, ie: Babbit Bay is also at a standstill, no sales, investment money pulling out and the dishonorable Steve Smith using his fathers money to keep it afloat (that won't last long)
Talk to any realtor on the island and you will soon realize that the SXM realty market has reached it's peak and the inevitable downhill slide is well on it's way.
