Donald Trump Jr. flew into town from New York Tuesday to check on the new Trump International Tower that’s going up in Waikiki. He confirmed the project is on track for a grand opening on November 16; about 90 days from now. The 38-story luxury hotel and condominium is located at the corner of Saratoga and Kalia roads. Workers have just put up the port cochere and landscaping and are now working on the interiors. Trump Jr. says he’s not worried about Hawaii’s economic slump.
“I think Hawaii as a business climate it’s great. Especially Waikiki; it’s one of these areas, I love as a business guy,” Trump Jr. said. “Got great climate, maybe not for a guy wearing a suit, but it’s just a great place.”
All 462 units of the tower were sold in one day, totaling $700 million. Although a few buyers have since sued the developer for alleged misrepresentation. Trump Jr. will be the guest of honor at a fancy party with local dignitaries Tuesday night. He’ll also be a guest on Sunrise Wednesday morning.
