The Trump Organization signed a deal to construct a skyscraper in Australia that will immediately become the tallest building Down Under.

The 91-story tower, which will cost just over $1 billion to build, will loom over the Gold Coast in the state of Queensland, per a Feb. 23 report from NBC News.

“Australia’s tallest building will be a Trump Tower, right in the middle of Surfers Paradise — it’s great for Queensland tourism, and fantastic for Australia,” Altus Property Group, the company developing the property, said in a statement.

The Trump Organization, in partnership with Altus Property Group, is proud to announce the launch of Trump International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast, our first Trump-branded project in Australia.

This 91-story landmark will feature a 285-room luxury hotel, 272 premium residences, , an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of retail and dining space, redefining beachfront luxury in the heart of Surfers Paradise.

Standing at 335 meters, it will be Australia’s tallest building, offering unmatched views and world-class amenities for residents and guests alike. We look forward to bringing the Trump standard of sophistication, quality, and service to the vibrant Gold Coast community.

The building will include more than 270 apartments, shops, a beach club, and a pool, as well as a “six-star resort hotel,” per NBC News.

The tower will also come emblazoned with the family name of the current President of the United States.

“It won’t have a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton brand above the front door, but it will say ‘Trump.’ And that means it is a no-expense-spared, highest-possible-quality building — the best in the world.”

Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump and the executive vice president of The Trump Organization, voiced his excitement for the project on social media.

“I am so proud to announce what will soon be the tallest building in Australia — Trump International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast,” he wrote.

“This marks our first venture into Australia — an extraordinary country in every respect — and I couldn’t be more excited to help shape its iconic skyline forever. More to come…”

A description on the Trump Hotels website said the building “redefines beachfront sophistication with world-class amenities, iconic design, and uninterrupted Gold Coast views.”

David Young, the CEO of Altus, said he cold-called Ivanka Trump back in 2007 in the hopes of securing the deal, according to a report from The Independent.

Nearly two decades later, the project has finally come to fruition.

“Importantly, the building is Australian-owned and Australian-built. It is an Altus subsidiary, Altus Resorts Pty Ltd, that makes the decisions on the fit-out, within the Trump design requirements,” Young added.

The developer said the deal was signed on Feb. 14 at Mar-a-Lago.

I read in "The Art of the Deal" that he liked using two hinges instead of three to save money.

If that really happens, and ‘our’ Donald Trump has his name emblazoned on top of the highest tower in Australia, it will be only short period of time before the Libs make it their life mission to take that name down, by any means necessary.
So, hopefully, all that is taken into consideration by the designers of this structure. They will obsess over it. Watch and see.

That may be. But I remember hearing from a buddy of mine who was a first-class builder that the only two justification for using three hinges on a regular room door were:

• The door material was so heavy that you had to distribute the weight across three.
• The door material would tend to warp over time, so the center hinge was to minimize the effect of the warpage on the fit against the frame.

I'm not a builder; I'm just passing along what I've heard.

Let’s see...
Trump Tower vs Obamy Tower and Library...

Sure makes it a hard choice, while deciding which one to visit...

Heavy doors (think thick) have four or more hinges.

I have a buddy from college (he’s also a neighbor in my subdivision) who travelled to Dallas, TX after graduation in the 80’s when oil was booming...

He got there on a Sunday afternoon, had two interviews on Monday and two on Tuesday — I don’t remember if he was to fly home to Montana Tuesday or Wednesday...

He was on the 17th floor and the hotel caught fire. He did what he should co — wet ta towel and put it at the bottom of the door but he succumbed to the smoke.

A firefighter got through his door and resuscitated him then got him out.

Three months later he was living with his parents, here in town, when he received a call from the lawyers of the hotel, they offered him $750,000 if he would promise not to sue them...His father said: “Take the money.”

Another month later the lawyers of the company that built the furniture called and offered him $500,000.

He’s doing well, has made some good investments. Ever since his eyes have been bloodshot...

Your mileage may vary.

That will be an additional benefit. Reminds of playing Vagner on helicopter loudspeakers in Apocalypse Now.

For sure. I've seen REALLY heavy doors that had a hinge that ran from top to bottom, like a giant piano hinge. The biggest like that I've seen was about 12' high and 8' wide, at least 8" thick, all steel, but not entirely solid; it had steel screening in places. Must've weighed at least a ton or three. It was the blast door to an old earth-bermed bunker that during the Cold War was used to store munitions, possibly nuclear but nobody knows for sure.

That's one hell of a door. (The bunker is now a modern ultra-secure datacenter.)

Whoa! Were the firefighters checking every room? I guess they’d have to. Lucky for your friend.

Yup, he was very lucky not to be a statistic.
