Trump Heads To Baja

Filed under: Estates, Luxury Travel & Hotels

Just call him Señor Trump. Donald Trump and Irongate are building a large new resort, Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico, a co-tel project located in North Baja, Mexico just 20 minutes from San Diego. It's big news because it represents the first condo-hotel project to hit the Baja peninsula. The large hotel will include the type of luxuries usually found in Cabo San Lucas but often in short supply further up the peninsula such as owner's concierge, a lobby bar & lounge, a pool house bar & café and a fine dining restaurant, an infinity edge resort pool, and lap and family pools, a spa, a fitness center, tennis courts, and walking trails. Prices for the studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences will start in the mid-$200s and construction is scheduled to begin in late 2006 with the completion of the first tower scheduled for late 2008. It's not the first upscale resort we have seen planned for the area but once the Trump rolls into town an area officially loses its chance to remain relatively undiscovered.

Braden Keil at the NY Post reports that Donald Trump, daughter Ivanka and son Donald Trump Jr. are creating a new co-tel in Soho. The 45-floor tower will be built at 246 Spring and will be one of the projects offered to the winner of tonight's "The Apprentice" finale. The Trump International Hotel & Tower SoHo will have more than 400 hotel condo rooms and suites, a spa and a high-end restaurant as well as retail space. The hotel will have 360-degree views from the 12th floor and up.

The winner of "The Apprentice" will get to choose between this tower and a project in Waikiki, a five-star $400 million co-tel complex that will have 460 units, restaurants and bars. Hmm, a year in Hawaii or a year in New York...I love NYC but I'd go for the Aloha option.

Is Donald Trump planning another Hawaii resort? According to an article in the Honolulu Advertiser, a Florida development firm has purchased beachfront property at the Ko Olina Resort & Marina in order to create a luxury condominium hotel that they want to brand with the Trump name. Crescent Heights is planning a 16-story co-tel with 400 to 500 units on eight acres. They are in preliminary talks with Trump to use his name. The project is expected to be finished in 2008. This is the second project we have heard about at Ko Olina on Oahu in Hawaii. There is also a new luxury high-rise condominium complex that will have an eight-story Beach Tower and a 15-story Ocean Tower.
