Haha! I found this news story:
Will Trump Tower’s Riverfront Retail Space Ever Get A Tenant?
RIVER NORTH — Donald Trump is back in the Oval Office and the Chicago Riverwalk is bustling.
And now, a global team of real estate brokers wants to seize the moment by leasing the retail space at Trump International Hotel and Tower that’s sat vacant since the skyscraper opened in 2009.
The Trump Organization has tapped Newmark real estate brokers in Chicago, New York City and London to search for retail tenants with the funds to build out the space and the stomach to operate underneath a 20-foot-tall “Trump” sign in a city the president has bemoaned as a “total disaster.”
The double-decker retail space at the base of Trump Tower, 401 N. Wabash Ave., has sat empty for 16 years — except for a hairdresser near the hotel lobby and a tour boat company docked near the building’s plaza. The 70,000-square-foot space holds the record for the longest-running Downtown retail vacancy over 5,000 square feet.
