90,000 square feet. Good price. Also you gave to account for more than just the building. Tables, chairs, equipment, etc.

>> I don’t mind the ballroom. I’m just amazed it’s going to cost $250-300 million. I know it’s all private money and it’s nothing to me. …But really? That much?

SECURITY

Built-in security costs big bucks, really big bucks. Absolute assurance that nothing is hidden, nothing CAN be hidden, that could compromise or God forbid take out our guys (POTUS, VPOTUS, etc.) or any visiting dignitaries.

I have no doubt the contractors are vetted to within an inch of their lives, and only hiring the most capable and trustworthy workers.

Security Costs Real Money. The "amazing" prices does not surprise me.
