May 14, 2019 at 6:45 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Bloomberg: “For anyone who owns a unit in the tower, the past two years have been brutal. Most condo sales have led to a loss after adjusting for inflation, property records show. Several sold at more than a 20% loss. By contrast, across Manhattan, just 0.23% of homes over the past two years sold at a loss.”

“The commercial portion of the building has been struggling for months to find tenants for more than 42,000 square feet of vacant office space, despite advertising rents well below the area’s average, listings and data from real estate brokers show.

“No man’s land”: How Trump Tower became Chicago retail’s biggest failure

“Trump Tower continues to take millions of gallons of water from the Chicago River every day without a permit and without any regard to how it may be impacting the river’s ecosystem,” Madigan said in a statement. “I filed my lawsuit to make sure Trump Tower cannot continue violating the law.”

The Tribune first reported in June that the decade-old skyscraper is the only Chicago high-rise that has failed to document it took measures to protect fish and aquatic life in the river.
