In an attempt to pick up the pace of sales, Trump International Hotel & Tower is about to do something it’s never done before: put together furnished models. According to the Tribune, 14 developer units sold between mid-June and mid-September, which isn’t all that bad, all things considering. Trump faces competition from places like the recently completed Elysian and the unfinished Ritz-Carlton Residences, and all three buildings will be vying for the attention of old Spire investors over the coming months.
