A $100 million loan on Donald Trump's Fifth Avenue tower has been placed on a debt watch list, according to data from banking giant, Wells Fargo.
Bloomberg first reported the story on Friday, noting that the decision was a result of "lower average occupancy."
Wells Fargo, which is the master servicer of the loan, said occupancy has dipped to 78.9% from 85.9% at the end of 2020, according to the outlet.
The building's real estate income was $33.7 million in 2020 and $7.5 million in the first quarter of this year, according to loan documents, Bloomberg noted.

(6,679 posts)I'm looking for the link and not finding it .... seems like I read they own it and Trump Org only manages.
I remember thinking as usual he takes the profit and not the risk.
Edit - the Wiki page said Trump owns his penthouse, the garage and the toilets in the lobby.
Me.

many of his businesses are really making money, and how much does TFG owe to China, Saudi
Arabia, and Russia/Putin/Russian Mobster (see the Steele Dossier aka pee pee tapes)?
His whole life has been one big con job. And it took lots of help and Russian money (allegedly) to
prop him up to sell to a certain % of mouth breathers that he was a billionaire business wiz on
"The Apprentice.

The average in the commercial real estate industry is 0.87.
For a private company, owned essentially by one person, it suggests that the net worth of the owner is negative.
And, of course the orange idiot has 99% of his eggs in that one basket.
Any positive cash flow is the support of the lifestyle.
I know he'd use the excuse that he was POTUS, but observe not only zero growth since 2015, but retraction.
His idiot sons know less about business than he does (how is that possible?) and growth was always based on leverage.
Nobody will lend them money any longer, hence no growth.
In fact, all the continued grifting & "I got robbed" tantrums are about generating cash to cover interest on the existing oppressive debt load.
I'm going to agree with the assessment in your post title.

cover the note. I look to see a fire sale on his properties very soon. The Russian mob and China will
want their money very soon.
BTW the Tump grift machine never had it so good as when TFG was in the White House. The mother fucker
had the military fly out of its way so they had to buy jet fuel from Trump and stay @ his ecological abortion of
a golf property in N.E. Scotland.
* very seldom do expensive hotels get their full rates for all their rooms
"growth was always based on leverage" Trump the Billionaire Business Genius was just like his I graduated
at the top of my class @ Wharton pure made up shit.
