History of  Trump National Doral Resort

Alfred Kaskel, the head of Carol Management, a New York-based real estate company, spent $10 million to construct the Doral Country Club. In January 1962, the club began operations. The resort served as the sister property to Florida’s Miami Beach and the renowned Doral Hotel. For almost $100 million, Carol Management sold a controlling interest in the resort to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts partner KSL Recreation, which specializes in high-end golf facilities. In 2004, CNL Hospitality (later CNL Hotels & Resorts), a real estate investment company connected to CNL Financial Group, then bought KSL. Later that year, CNL appointed Marriott International to run the resort. CNL Hotels was purchased by Morgan Stanley’s real estate division in 2007.

The Pritikin Longevity Center relocated to the Doral resort’s spa area around 2010.2011 and saw Morgan Stanley relinquish possession of the Doral and seven other properties to a syndicate of creditors led by Paulson & Co. They started looking for a buyer for the Doral and promptly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection along with four other properties. The Doral Resort & Spa was bought out of bankruptcy by the Trump Organization in February 2012 for $150 million. Then, the name of the property was changed to Trump National Doral. In 2013, Trump started a $250 million resort refurbishment, which was finished in 2016. Deutsche Bank loaned $125 million to pay for the purchase and restoration.

Four out of the five golf courses were part of Trump’s acquisition. The fifth, known as the “Great White Course,” was left out of the auction because of its excellent redevelopment potential. Instead, it was sold to GIC, a case creditor, along with the other insolvent properties. In 2016, GIC sold the golf course to Lennar and CC Homes for $96 million. According to a May 2019 report, the resort’s net operating income had decreased by 69 percent from $13.8 million in 2015 to $4.3 million two years later, putting it in “severe decline” financially.

litigation and legal disputes

Contractors who worked on the refurbishment project have “filed scores of liens” against Trump. Unless the Trump Organization paid $32,800 to a Miami paint supply firm by May 20, 2016, a Miami-Dade County Circuit Court judge ordered Trump National Doral Miami to be repossessed and sold on June 28. Every year since he bought the resort in 2012, Trump has contested the local property tax assessments. Trump has regularly stated high property values for his golf clubs in Federal Election Commission filings, yet, Trump has typically stated significantly lower values in tax procedures. Sandra Ruiz, a councilwoman for Doral, contested the tax assessment for the Doral resort in August 2016 on the grounds that it was excessively low and did not take into account upgrades that raised the value.

The hotel paid a claim brought by a visitor whose face, arms, and back had been bit by bed bugs in 2017. The 46th G7 meeting will be held at the Doral, the White House announced in October 2019, as the impeachment investigation against Donald Trump was ongoing. The resort would host the event “at cost” or maybe for free, according to Trump’s suggestion. The action sparked further accusations that Trump was engaging in self-dealing in defiance of the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution. The selection of Doral was “among the most egregious examples of the President’s wrongdoing ever,” according to Jerry Nadler, head of the House Judiciary Committee. Within days of the announcement, Trump decided to drop his intentions due to a lack of backing from his Republican allies, who had grown weary of defending him. This was significant because it represented a rare breach in the Republican support for Trump.
