Donald Trump set for Melbourne

trumpWhile not personally coming to Melbourne (as far as I'm aware) it looks like there’re might be a Trump tower coming to Melbourne some time soon.

Rumours are that the Schiavello family who run a prominent development company may have secured the rights from Donald Trump to build a Trump tower in Southbank.

So how would these apartments sell in Melbourne? If you have been to New York and have seen Trump’s work you would have noticed it’s often very extravagant while at the same time not to everybody's tastes! Donald Trump's buildings tend to have an abundance of Gold and Glass which many people think is either beautiful or tacky. Often with Trump there’re is no in between! 

Donald Trump also tends to attract a lot of Asian investors for his apartments and if the building does go ahead it would be expected to be heavily marketed in Asia.

I don't think the apartments will have any trouble selling if built in Melbourne unless of course they are way off the mark when it comes to pricing; hopefully the builders do a better job of the construction than Donald does with his hair!
