I Guess 1980s Excess Is Coming Back After All

Donald infiltration: complete. Form of: Soho condo-hotel. Just rolls off the tongue, that:

The city will approve construction permits for a condo hotel skyscraper that megadeveloper Donald Trump wants to build in western SoHo, the Daily News has learned.

Community groups who oppose his plans for the 45-story Trump SoHo Hotel Condominium got the word late Wednesday from elected officials, said Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation.

Trump said yesterday that he hadn’t got the official okay from the Department of Buildings, which issues the construction permits. But he was upbeat anyway.

“It will be like all my other buildings,” he told The News. “Once they get built, everybody loves them.”

Trump is already doing excavation and site prep — for which he does have city permits — at his property at 246 Spring St., which had been a parking lot.

He’s planning a luxurious glass tower with 411 units designed by high-profile architect David Rockwell. Most floors will have superb views because it will be the tallest building between 23rd St. and lower Manhattan. There will also be a rooftop pool with cabanas.
