Sitting Pretty on the Dock of the Bay?

Port Picton Waterfront Homes...Sitting Pretty on the Dock of the Bay? I met David Cleave in the building that I recall was formerly the splendid design showroom known as The Renovators and am quickly introduced to the economics of property development: it is not for the faint of heart.
