TRUMP Breaks Ground in DC

Breaking Old Ground The Trump Family breaks ground in dc, replacing the old post office with a $200 Million luxury hotel Donald Trump is working on a new $200 million project in D.C. which will build what he calls, “One of the great hotels anywhere in the world.” His team will transform the Old Post Office Building (a 115 year old landmark) into a new Trump International Hotel featuring 270 guest rooms and two presidential suites of more than 3,000 square feet.

Project completion is expected in 2016.

Gray reinforced Norton’s excitement by describing the positive economic impact the project will have on the city. He explained that in 10 years’ time the project will generate $100 million in tax revenue.

And more immediately, it will also create 700 construction jobs and soon after, 500 permanent jobs once Trump returns to cut the red ribbon.

Mayor Vincent Gray and D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton both whole heartedly support the transformation calling it the most significant change on Pennsylvania Avenue in the last thirty or forty years. Norton went on to wittingly describe the impact the project will make; “Look at what the Old Post Office had been reduced to – something of an ugly duckling. But I think we’re about to see the grand old lady back in her iconic glory with brand new identity complete with all the historic trimming.”
