How this real estate newbie made a killing with his Trump card

A private elevator opens directly into each of the 258 Trump-branded residences in the property, which also has a Trump Club. Before the apartments are handed over to buyers in the coming months, executives of The Trump Organization, the business venture of US President Donald Trump, will fly down for a customary inspection. When the project, which is being co-developed by Mumbai-headquartered Tribeca Developers and Gurugram-based M3M Group, was launched in January 2018, demand for high-end homes in India’s real estate market had been tepid for 3-4 years.
Yet, the Trump project sold nearly 100 out of 258 apartments within a month of launch. India is home to four luxury residential Trump Tower projects—one each in Pune, Gurugram, Mumbai, and Kolkata. The Gurugram and Kolkata projects are scheduled for delivery to buyers this year.
Now, seven years after the launch of the Gurugram project, Tribeca Developers is gearing up to launch multiple Trump projects across India. The first of these new Trump-branded developments, the Trump World Center Pune that was announced in March, marks the Trump Organization’s entry into India’s commercial real estate market. Three residential projects will be announced in north and south India, with total investments in the new projects adding up to ₹6,000-7,000 crore, making India the largest and most important overseas market for the Trump Organization.
