The original offer in 1970’s was 1 million, Trump’s was reportedly 2 million and the other 3 neighbors who sold at that time sold for 2 million so it seems reasonable to accept the $2million offer number Trump has reported.
Thanks—the information I had indicated Trump matched Guccione’s earlier offer, when, in fact, he doubled it.
Two other properties were involved in the eminent domain issue at the same time Coking’s property was.
Sabato’s Restaurant went for $2.1 million and a pharmacy went for $1.6 million.
Therefore, the $2 million was a very good offer.
Coking was visited twice by the real estate fairy and rejected her good fortune twice.
