Fort Lauderdale Trump Tower (condo, hotel, rent)

[Vicman]

I noticed this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_I..._Lauderdale%29

Are there any people who plan to move into the Fort Lauderdale Trump tower?

[fwaaa]

Several of these units have already been sold so I'd say yes there are people who plan on moving in there.. Our office was invited to view the plans and I will say Trump is not sparing anything.. A1A has everything one might want to be near, there a 9 units one could buy a share of and the rest will be sold out right..

the condo market is wayy oversaturation. wait it out for the collapse and pick it up cheap. this place is an undesirable place to live combined with being a completely overbuilt overspeculated area. greed made developers build so much stuff theyll have no one to fill it when speculators bail out. the only thing that would fill these places would be a mass exodus from cuba. i see whole complexes down here VACANT and theyre STILL building.

Cixel, that makes no sence....mass exodus from Cuba??? Where would these poor Cubans get money to by at the Trump Towers??? Mass exodus from Venezuela, now thats a different story. People will be flocking here in droves once Chavez takes away privatization on commerce and makes it all public for his own pocket. Thats the next exodus. America will never allow an exodus from Cuba, our goverment does not have the funding, nor shouldn't, have to use public assistance on the next wave. Just my theory.

who says it would be the poor cubans in trump towers. im talking about all the thousands of condo projects all over dade county.
we have zero shortage of living spaces so the price will have to drop or they simply wont be able to rent them with the low population levels we have in this city. there are companies down here south of kendall who dont fire employees simply because theyre afraid they wont be able to find ANY replacement for a given job.
do you think the government is prepared to handle thousands of rafts floating ashore simultaneously? and rich cubans in miami or fort lauderdale will swing by the island to pick up relatives.
the us govt was asleep at the wheel for both 9/11 and katrina, what makes you think theyll be on the ball for another mariel.

Is there even enough money in the whole state to pay the outrageous prices these condo flippers were paying? Seems like many are listed for 4 times their real worth...for something that will be rendered useless by a hurricane with some guts.
