Well it's been over a month since we last heard from the Trumpster...anyone know if his 'plans' are progressing or not?

[norm21499]

Who knows...but I would guess probably not.

If anything at all comes up, my guess is that it wouldn't be until later this fall that an announcement is made. If he does do something in Charlotte, my money is on the Wellschovia condo tower. Especially since we saw that project out for bid again.

So apparently we might finally be getting a Trump Charlotte.....ready for it? Golf Course LOL! The Donald is looking at buying the Point Lake Golf Club in Lake Norman. Here is the link to the article http://green-side.bl...t-lake-and.html

I saw that yesterday too... And that's probably the extent of Trump's interest in Charlotte Though, from everything I've known about this course it would be a good investment. I also wonder with Quail Hollow likely ending their tournament in 2014, when the contract expires because they hope to lure a PGA major, I wonder if Trump will try to start a new tournament here.

wait, what's this about Quail Hollow ending in 2014?

Yea, the guys that run the tournament at Quail Hollow have hinted they won't renew the contract when it expires after 2014. They've stated that they want to bring either the PGA Championship or US Open to Quail Hollow (likely 2017 or 2018). It would require some course renovations that would make it unplayable for 2-3 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see another club in the Charlotte area put a tournament in its place. That's why I thought Trump buying this may tie this place into a tournament down the road. Just me speculating though.

The Trumps are still trying to make a deal in the Charlotte area.  Just not the 70 story, 900+ ft tower that I would like to see.
