Trump Plays His Card in the Phillipines



Country:  Philippines

7 November 2008 

A consortium group, made up of the Trump Organization, American Westgate Resorts Asia Ltd. and Korean Heung-A Property Group, is investing as much as $1bn (£630m) to develop a high-end leisure facility in Subic, Olongapo City, the Phillipines.

The group has its eye on a 457-hectare beachfront property in the village of Cawag, where it plans to build hotels, residential villas, retail shops, casinos, educational and medical facilities and a convention center over 10 years.

The first phase of the Philippine project will be led by Heung-A’s wholly owned subsidiary, Subic Neocove Corp., and involves the development of the basic infrastructure and a 54-hole golf course worth $250m (£158m). It is expected to be finished by 2011.

Subic Neocove Chairman Seung Guk Yang told a briefing the project would be different from other leisure projects in the area since it would be targeting long-staying tenants instead of holiday-makers.

"We are putting medical and wellness  facilities and international schools so clients can treat this as their second home, which is why we are not calling it a resort but a master plan community," he said through an interpreter.
