Big names back Trump tower
Excerpt:
Soros, Deutsche Bank said to be in on 90-story building
October 28, 2004|By Thomas A. Corfman, Tribune staff reporter.
Donald Trump has lined up three New York hedge funds, including money from billionaire George Soros, to invest $160 million in his Chicago skyscraper, a key piece in perhaps the largest construction financing in the city’s history, according to real estate sources and public documents.
Despite reports about the project’s record-breaking sales, most of them from Trump himself, many Chicago real estate developers and lenders have expressed doubts about whether the 90-story tower would ever be built.
Trump personally guaranteed the construction loan and would have been forced to file for personal bankruptcy if it hadn’t been for Soros’ bailout.
PS....Trump sucks and needs to stay the he!! out of this race!
