If you watched the finale of The Apprentice, you probably laughed when Donald Trump called SoHo an "artists' enclave" - we think the artists got edged out some time in the early 1990s. But, as both finalists showed, the chance to work on the Trump Soho, a 45-50 story hotel and condo building, was the real prize, versus a yooge building in Honolulu. Anyway, the computer graphic presentation of the Trump Soho was pretty impressive - for being insanely tall and probably the new bane of the community. If you go to the Trump Soho website, you'll see a pretty information-less Flash presentation of the building, with a request for information form to fill out at the end. But the website does tell us:
- The building is damn tallThe Donald Jr. told the Post, "You're going to get incredible 360-degree views from about the 12th floor up. They're almost like the views in Jersey City of Manhattan, but you're still in New York." Is that a diss to the Jersey City Trump development?
- The time in New York (naturally)
- The time in London - hey, the pound is strong
- The time in Moscow - bring over some of that nouveau riche over here, da?
- The time Hong Kong - the building will adhere to all feng shui practices

Any idea what corner is the future home to this god-awful building?
JC represent.
like the building and the donald, the website is a waste of space.
Have there been any decent articles on what these Apprentices actually end up doing once hired? The show makes it sound like this guy is going to be "running" that SoHo project for Donald, but I have a feeling even Donald isn't stupid enough to give these clowns any real authority.
It's going to be built on spring, between varick and 6th avenue. Not exactly Soho proper, but I don't know what they are calling it these days. I'm guessing it's replacing the parking lot on the south east corner, across from Starbucks and the Mini storage.
And speaking of that Starbucks, I think thats the only location in the city that actually needs one across the street from it. It's the only decent coffee shop for a mile or so (short of carts and bodgeas, but no cafe places) and it's always a 10-20 minute wait for a cup of coffee in the morning.
its commonly known as "hudson square".
Ooh la love, Donald Trump does downtown. Next up in 20 years, edgy East Village condos.
Yeesh, more crappy buildings. At least it will only be replacing a parking lot.
I can't wait until the market tanks, and hopefully takes some of these developers with it.
