Trump SoHo: What Up, Closets?
We have not been paying attention to the Trump SoHo hotel-condominium (WHICH IS BUILT ON A GRAVEYARD), unlike some people who are crazed about it, but I finally looked at the floorplans, because it opens in February? They’re terrible! First of all, the non-penthouse condos top out at like 700 square feet, and most are like 450 square feet? But really: if you’re going to buy a condo-ized hotel room (which you can only occupy for 120 days a year, max, and, um, no thanks), wouldn’t you want an extra closet instead of 1.5 baths? One of the units has a “secure owner’s closet,” but the rest, not much. Thing is, you know, you’d want to keep some of your New York clothes at your own hotel room, obviously, when you wanted to swoop in high and hot from Bahrain or Burma! Good grief.
