Coffee Talk with Jules Trump

TRD‘s latest episode of Coffee Talk features South African-born developer Jules Trump. Though he bears no relation to the White House occupants, Trump is the leader of the similarly named Trump Group. In this interview, he spoke to The Real Deal publisher Amir Korangy about getting into the real estate game. Trump started off as a retailer before diving into development. His ultra-luxury plan for the Sunny Isles Beach waterfront has proven popular with lenders. Bank OZK funded the construction of Trump’s Estates at Acqualina with a $558 million loan, the largest of its kind in South Florida. For more on how he put those plans together, watch the video above.
