https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/14/trump-impeachment-biden-transition-live-updates/Since the attack on the U.S. Capitol last week, Trumps company has lost three of its banks, two of its real estate brokers, its e-commerce site, its chance to host a major golf championship and its contracts to run a golf course, two ice rinks and even a childrens carousel.
Now, it is losing the Girl Scouts.
The Girl Scouts of Greater New York, which leases office space in Trumps building at 40 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, said this week that they are seeking as a matter of very high priority to move out. The Girl Scouts lease, signed in 2014, was supposed to last 15 years.
The Girl Scouts rents 14,000 square feet on the seventh floor of Trumps building, according to the real estate database firm CoStar. Their rent has not been disclosed, but at current market rates a space that size would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
