Trump Condo Hotel Soho The Department of Buildings on Tuesday approved the plans and the application for a building permit for Donald Trump’s proposed 42-story condo-hotel on Spring St. in a manufacturing district in Hudson Square, a project that has roused intense opposition from preservation advocates.
The approval of the application for 242 Spring St. at Varick St. did not yet include the actual permit to continue construction on the site, where the foundation is nearly completed, according to a department spokesperson.
The developer, actually Bayrock/Sapir Organization, with the participation of Trump and his grown children, still had to submit nearly 20 technical documents before a permit could be issued, according to a Department of Buildings statement.
