The PGA has officially reported that more than 75,000 people attended the recent Puerto Rico Open at TRUMP INTERNATIONAL GOLF CLUB, exceeding even the most aggressive estimates.  The record-setting audience was anxious to experience the newest project from the Trump Organization.  Donald and Eric Trump with their partners Arturo and Jorge L. Diaz of Empresas Diaz, and Miss Puerto Rico Universe Ingrid Rivera unveiled the stunning model residences just completed for the project. With an investment of over $600 million, Trump International Golf Club Puerto Rico will be a high profile, unique luxury residential community.

"We are pleased by the great success of the first ever PGA TOUR event on our Island&media coverage, attendance, sponsors and sales superseded all of our expectations," said Mr. Sidney Wolf, Chairman of the Puerto Rico Open and the Puerto Rico Golf Association. "This event was possible because of a great team effort.  Working along with Empresas Diaz and the Trump Organization proved to be part of the winning ingredients that provided the Puerto Rico Open the success that the event had," adds Wolf. 

Donald J. Trump tested the course personally with his Vice-President of Strategic Development Lawrence Glick, Empresas Diaz's Jorge L. Diaz, Puerto Rico's governor Anￃ­bal Salvador Acevedo Vilￃ, and Tom Kite – the PGA legend who designed the course. "We know many people turned up to the tournament and to visit the model residences because of the Trump name. Simply put, Trump and Golf equals excellence," states Sales Director Eduardo Cofresi.  During the tournament, visitors were able to experience the sophisticated lifestyle and luxurious amenities the development will offer. Trump was also extremely pleased with the property itself stating, "The first residences look excellent and provide a glimpse to what is to be expected at this resort community. I've never had a project with so much ocean- front & no matter where you look, there are beautiful water views." 

Spread over approximately one thousand acres in Rio Grande, the development will have approximately 500 residences at its completion. In its first phase, this resort complex consists of 56 magnificent Founders Residences, with an approximate starting value of $1.4 million. The first residents will become part of the Founders Club, an exclusive community that will allow its residents to enjoy superb benefits, including preferred tee times and access to elite services such as a private jet, Hatteras yacht, and helicopter and limousine service. Golf will not be the only focus, the resort's Beach Club will provide an outlet of activities and high-end amenities including numerous pools, a gourmet restaurant and outdoor cafe, a five star spa and fitness facility, shopping boutiques, tennis courts, kids club, and much more.

"Trump International Golf Club Puerto Rico is different than any previous endeavor from the Trump Organization – this is one of the top golf courses and most beautiful landscapes in the entire Caribbean with the unique aspect of being on U.S. soil," states Eric Trump who is leading the helm with this development. "The PGA Tournament served as the ideal platform to debut this one-of-a-kind project to such an important audience," he adds. 
 

The developers and sales team were extremely pleased with the turn out. "The interest from potential buyers was tremendous" adds Cofresi. "We built an extensive VIP list, and we are completely confident in the success of this project."

Due to its unique landscape, Trump International Golf Club is truly a player's haven. The breathtaking 36-hole course set on the luxurious residential community provides the perfect combination for a spectacular resort. "I am an avid golfer and have always been extremely passionate about golf. I now have the opportunity to transform this passion and apply it to my developments to create the finest destinations where people can enjoy the prestigious sport," Adds Donald Trump.

"This residential complex in Puerto Rico will become an icon among luxury properties within the Caribbean, combining the splendor, excellent service and unmatched amenities, all being trademark of the Trump," notes Jorge L. Diaz. "We are extremely proud to be part of such an amazing project alongside The Trump Organization."
