Donald Trump Jr. about the current state of affairs of the Soho project
Quote:”
On New York: “If you want to build a two-story building, you’re going to have someone fighting you saying ‘it’s too big.’
On 45-story Trump Soho: “The sight’s expensive. Obviously everything in New York is trading at, you know, rather high multiples these days. So the site acquisition wasn’t cheap, but I think the site location, the zoning that we have on the site, is going to allow us to build a project that really makes sense.”
On residents’ opposition: “I don’t know what ‘too tall’ is. We live in New York City, so, I don’t know if there’s such a thing as ‘too tall.’ I think in that location it’s very fitting, I think it makes a lot of sense for the product. People always say the best views are from Jersey, but we’re going to have a lot of those views.”
On Dad: “He’s really a builder. That’s where he started, that’s what he understands… He wasn’t the kind of dad that took you and said ‘let’s go play catch.’ That wasn’t his thing. He wanted to talk about business. As a six year old, that may not be the easiest thing in the world.”"
