Trump unveils housing project in Pune

“India is a great country. The market is positive and we are planning to invest more in the country. After the new government at the centre, things are looking up. The view of the country for outsiders is positive and there will be more investors in the near future,” said Donald Trump, Chairman and President of the Trump Organisation on his maiden visit to the city, for the launch of Trump Towers Pune, developed by Panchshil Realty. Speaking about the association with Panchshil Realty, 68-year-old Trump said, “A lot of research has gone before the Trump brand joined hands with Panchshil Realty. As a businessman I always look for long-term relationships which I have found in Panchshil Realty. We knew we were dealing with the best in the country and were fairly surprised by the quality of work. Atul Chordia, chairman, Panchshil Realty, is a man with a great vision and mission. He is passionate about his work which can be seen in the construction work he has done in the city and outside.” The deal between Trump and Panchshil Realty was signed on February 12, 2012. Trump Towers Pune at Kalyanigar features modern design, lavish amenities and quality service. It comprises two 23 storey buildings with 46 single-floor residences measuring 6,100 square ft each. In the initial phase, the price per square feet was Rs 17,000 which has gone upto Rs 22,000 per sq ft. The second tower will be launched in the second quarter of next year. Asked if he was planning to contest the US Presidential elections again, Trump said, “In the last elections, I contested against Obama. He won and he is doing great work. As for now I can only say that life is great and full of opportunities. You never know what will happen next. I love what I am doing- construction and I am happy with it.”
