STAFF LOGIN Company NewsTrump Pitches $3 Billion in Condos at Miami-Area Golf CourseBy Anna J Kaiser and Felipe MarquesUpdated: August 15, 2024 at 9:22AM EDT (Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump wants to sell more high-end condos in the US, this time using a famously difficult Florida golf course as a draw. The former president’s family business is seeking to build residences and retail inside the Trump National Doral Miami resort, according to documents posted on a City of Doral website. The property covers more than 600 acres and currently features a hotel and four golf courses, including the Blue Monster, which is notorious among golfers for its numerous water hazards. Construction of the new “Trump-branded project” is expected to cost between $2.5 billion and $3 billion, according to Felix Lasarte, a Miami-based attorney who is representing the Trump company developing it.  The Doral project will “be incredible for home values and great for the community all around,” said Eric Trump, who leads the Trump Organization alongside his brother, Donald Trump Jr. “It’s going to be a world class development.” The proposal would encompass building 1,498 residential units and 141,694 square feet of commercial development in one of the hottest real estate markets in the country. Lasarte said in an interview that the plan includes five towers, each about 20 stories high, as well as townhouses.  Prices for the condos would start at $2 million, with sales expected to kick off next year, depending on permitting, he said.  “If you go to Doral, it’s a nice suburban community, then when you go inside that country club, the people that visit it are very wealthy people,” Lasarte said. “I think this is going to be an opportunity to capitalize on that.” On Wednesday, the Doral City Commission voted 3-2 to grant initial approval for a zoning change that would allow the planned condos and retail to be built on a portion of the property. The city’s mayor was among the officials voting against the proposal. The zoning change still needs to be cleared in a final vote in September. Building the condos might require tearing down a part of the hotel on the property, Lasarte said on the sidelines of the Wednesday meeting. The condo plan could prop up the value of a property that has been one of the biggest revenue generators for the Trump Organization. Even if Trump fails to ultimately build anything else on the Doral property, the changes in zoning, as well as a recent multimillion-dollar tax easement on the Blue Monster golf course, could make it more valuable on paper. Trump, 78, saw a massive increase in his wealth earlier this year thanks to a boost from his social media startup. While some of the euphoria around Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. faded, it still provides a significant addition on paper to the Republican presidential nominee’s roughly $5.3 billion net worth. Trump’s real estate portfolio is valued at $2.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Trump National Doral accounts for $305 million of that, with $125 million in associated debt (Trump refinanced the property with a loan from San Diego-based Axos Financial Inc. Still, a hot local market and potential development opportunities could make that a low estimate. The Trump Organization said it received a bid of $1.5 billion for the property last year, contingent on zoning approvals that would allow residential development. Trump had announced plans to build 2,300 luxury homes in Doral in January 2022, but ended up scaling back those ambitions. In the meantime, Trump made another deal with the city of Doral, gaining a conservation-easement tax break in exchange for promising not to build atop the Blue Monster. The pact calls the course an important tourist attraction — as well as a habitat for threatened birds including the little blue heron and the wood stork. The easement shrank the property’s fair market value to $345 million from $668 million, producing a potential $323 million tax deduction, according to an IRS form that made public record as part of the 2022 agreement. The size of the potential deduction was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Lasarte, the lawyer, said that the Trump Organization plans to pursue similar conservation easements on the property’s other golf courses.  While much of Trump’s reputation as a TV star and developer stems from his time in New York, his businesses are increasingly focused elsewhere.  His social-media company is based in Sarasota, on Florida’s Gulf Coast. He and most of his extended family have moved to South Florida since he left the White House in 2021. And Trump is planning to build new offices in Jupiter, at his golf club there, The Palm Beach Post reported this year.  The Trump Organization has also been pursuing deals in the Middle East, including a luxury tower in Dubai and two other projects announced this year.

The caption: “Foreskin . . . A girl can hope.” “Everyone talks about the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, but when it comes to babies’ genitals, they have no rights,” Losquadro said. “And, you know, what’s wrong with the foreskin? The foreskin never killed anybody. A foreskin just wants to give love, connection, and happiness.” Losquadro’s day job is in real-estate management, and he runs Intaction from a small studio in his office where he records YouTube videos with titles such as “What’s Causing Young Men to Fall Behind?” and “Can We Have Bigger Penises in America?” It’s also where he updates Intaction’s Web site with research, press clippings, and interactive features, including a survey asking visitors to vote for their favorite uncircumcised celebrity (among the options: Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom). As part of his advocacy, Losquadro lobbies state representatives to end Medicaid coverage of circumcisions, arguing that it creates an incentive for a medically unnecessary procedure. Last month, he visited Concord, New Hampshire, where the state legislature will vote on the issue later this year. Because his cause attracts supporters on both sides of the aisle, he tries to remain nonpartisan. Intaction is not Losquadro’s only foreskin-related side gig.

she had been reading about the increase in mass shootings in the U.S and that Chinese state media was exaggerating the gun-violence problem to make America look bad the worst mass shooting in Maine’s history—and the deadliest in the United States this year—occurred in Lewiston when a gunman opened fire at a local bowling alley killing eighteen people and injuring thirteen more The shootings were just a couple of miles away from the Bates campus along with the rest of Androscoggin County and a manhunt—involving local and state police county residents and Bates students are still sheltering in place was at a campus political forum when the lockdown orders came in He told me about his experience as an international student encountering a uniquely American phenomenon—a mass-shooter alert I was curious: Why was he outside the building when there’s supposed to be an event happening in the basement That’s when I was told that the meeting was cancelled I was planning to walk back to my dorm because I hadn’t heard of any casualties But I was stopped by some other students who told me that there had been casualties and that there was an order to stay inside I stayed in the basement from eight until ten-forty-five We were projecting CNN on the wall—all of us were just sitting there and staring into the projector And then I walked back to my dorm with a couple of students who also live there We decided that it was too late and we needed somewhere we could sleep students were sleeping on the floor already because I was literally thinking in my brain It’s something I never thought I would even think about There is a main thoroughfare we have to cross to get to my residential hall and—because it’s a wide-open road with very few trees and very little cover—when I was walking across the crosswalk and I had to run to stay out of open areas we got an e-mail from the school about food on campus Because all of the employees were told not to return to campus So they told us that we should go to dining halls during designated periods of time—you have twenty minutes to eat your lunch and then five minutes to walk back I just made ramen because I didn’t want to go outside “I’m not from Beijing or Shanghai like most other Chinese students because I went to an international high school and the Chinese education system was not a good fit for me I came here because the education system is more liberating I was preparing to walk outside the academic building when American students stopped me and told me to stay indoors I realized how inadequately I’m educated and trained when it comes to this type of situation When I saw how my American peers reacted and how I reacted “After deciding to go to college in the U.S. ‘Why are you risking your life going to this country?’ The U.S is rendered in the Chinese media as this crazy place with mass shootings every day and little to no government control and intervention that’s just a stereotype and a misconception Stop worrying about me going to a country that seems unsafe because AcademyAlberto Lasarte: 'It's a shame that one of the two teams is going to be left without promotion'Both UD Almería 'B' head coach Alberto Lasarte and CD Toledo head coach Rubén Gala used the same words in the post-match press conference: 'Today we saw a game that is not from Tercera RFEF' UD Almería 'B' head coach Alberto Lasarte shared his post-game thoughts at the press conference after the match against CD Toledo he regretted the 'early opener conceded' since as he later added: ' I told my players to be attacking-wise in the first play and for the first ten minutes we were going all out and it annoys me because they cross in and we let them.' we had 20 minutes in which we put them on the ropes Having control we have sometimes over-exerted ourselves and on two counter-attacks the gaffer assured that they were 'bittersweet as a coach I wanted to get the best result.' Although he stated: 'There is no other option than to boost our morale and be one hundred percent 'They're a very powerful team and it'll be very sad if one of us is left without promotion after the work we have done,' he added What is obvious is that the UDA Academy prospects are facing a very tough and very confident rivals the whole script changes with the first goal it would've been a CD Toledo that would've looked more for the opponents' goal but those opening minutes have knocked us out quite complete and today should be a wake-up call for next week.,' the Jaen-borm coach assessed what the second leg in Toledo will be like and commented the following: 'I expect a very nice match at the Salto del Caballo whoever manages to take advantage of their good spell of possession will win There will be options for both of us and whoever takes advantage of it will be promoted.' I have tried to sample some of the world’s most highly-rated restaurants while on holiday overseas I had an opportunity to try both of the three-star Michelin restaurants in Barcelona How could this not be an epic dining experience was that all three-star Michelin restaurants are by no means equal and while you can count on three stars commanding a high price they are not the guarantee of memorable dining If it’s simply a great meal you are looking for you might well be better off visiting a restaurant with one or two fewer stars That’s because dining at a three-star Michelin restaurant is not just about masterfully done food you can pretty much count on incredible combinations of flavors but what renders the dining experience at a three-star restaurant magical – what turns the dishes into edible art – is clever presentation and fantastic service The first of my dining outings in Spain was to ABaC an attractive restaurant set within a boutique hotel in the chic Sarria-sant Gervasi area on the outskirts of Barcelona ABaC first came to foodies’ attention in 2004 when chef Jordi Cruz earned his first Michelin star at the age of 24 he became the first Catalan chef awarded a third star by the Michelin inspectors But ABaC was not the first Barcelona restaurant to gain three stars the Catalan outpost of renowned Basque chef Martin Berasategui Lasarte was awarded a third Michelin star in 2017 joining Berasategui’s eponymous flagship restaurant in his native Basque country which has held a three-star rating since 2001 we were escorted to a lovely outside seating area for a drink and then led into the kitchen for a tour and appetizers That’s where things got off to a rocky start While the first appetizers were indeed interesting it was hard to appreciate the creativity while juggling them standing in the kitchen The process felt way too rushed – as though the restaurant was in a hurry to get others inside We then were ushered into one of the very attractive dining rooms where over the next 4 hours we sampled 13 dishes and 7 wines but when I asked my husband a couple of days ago which of the courses he remembered the only one that came immediately to mind was the first: ABaC’s Bloody Mary on the rocks – a pale drink from which the blood red of the tomato had been drip filtered out of both the drink and the frozen cube You would never have guessed it would taste like a great Bloody Mary But despite some innovative dishes and very creative plating I cannot say that I left ABaC widely impressed – and the biggest problem was the presentation and table service by a very young staff that clearly needs more training Our experience was very much the opposite at Lasarte Arriving with a friend we had unexpectedly encountered in Barcelona (our reservation for two had been made weeks before) the veteran staff warmly welcomed this unaccustomed surprise and quickly rearranged a table for the three of us the next three hours exceeded expectations – the service Not only were the wines paired with the Lasarte tasting menu a very good match but our glasses remarkably were refilled until each succeeding wine was served The finely choreographed service – one person described it later as like a “ballet” – may have been the best we’ve encountered in a restaurant anywhere Both restaurants were expensive – about $300 a person for the tasting menu combined with the wine pairing So what to make of our Barcelona dining experience Had we just been picking one three-star restaurant for our visit we probably would have chosen ABaC – and would have left mildly disappointed we still would talking about it (which we are anyway) The bottom line is that three Michelin stars provides no guarantee that you are going to leave thinking your money was well spent It’s worth trying to find out more about a restaurant than its number of stars – perhaps by reading the reviews of some experienced diners – before investing in what is certain to be a pricey visit I welcome your comments, and encourage you to send feedback to me at [email protected] Privacy Policy | Copyright © 2025 32963 Media LLC All rights reserved   |    Contact: [email protected]   |   Vero Beach, Florida, USA | Orlando Web Design by: M5 This function has been disabled for Vero News Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

A tourist destination popular with travellers from all over the world, Barcelona has also carved out a decent reputation for its culinary offering, and become a popular destination for food and wine tourism. Among countless places churning out typical paella and tapas, an emerging scene of haute cuisine restaurants have come to the fore, raining down Michelin-stars in Barcelona.  The Catalan capital has 22 Michelin-starred restaurants, and 25 across the entire province of Barcelona. There are two 3-Michelin-star restaurants in Barcelona: Lasarte and ABaC. There are four 2-Michelin-star restaurants in Barcelona, including new entry Angle, as well as Cocina Hermanos Torres, Disfrutar and Enoteca. A trip through the Michelin-star restaurants in Barcelona can only start from the temple of culinary excellence with a gastronomy guru like Martin Berasategui (12 Michelin stars, Spain's most emblazoned chef): his Lasarte at the 3-Michelin-star Hotel Monument is an expanding and evolving laboratory worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. Lasarte was also the first restaurant in Barcelona to win 3 Michelin stars.

That's why in the kitchen of the city's most famous restaurant we find an Italian, Paolo Casagrande, at the helm, who can also be credited with leading the restaurant to winning its third Michelin star.

In addition to Angle, which earned its second Michelin star in 2020, Aurt and Cinc Sentits also enter the prestigious red guide. The latter already had a Michelin star in the past, and was again awarded one after its move. The Michelin Guide 2024 selection for Spain was revealed at a gala event in Barcelona's Auditorium CCIB Forum on Tuesday evening and it was a good night for the city's fine dining scene.  Disfrutar capped a stellar year by joining the guide's crème de la crème as it gained its third Michelin star.  Disfrutar becomes the fifth Catalan restaurant to currently hold three stars, joining Lasarte, Cocina Hermanos Torres, and ABaC, all in Barcelona, plus Girona's El Celler de Can Roca.  Two restaurants in Catalonia were award a Michelin star for the first time, both in Barcelona: Quirat, based at Hotel InterContinental at the foot of Montjuïc, and Suto, an intimate Japanese restaurant in the Sants neighborhood.  Three Catalans were honored with individual awards at the gala. Josep 'Pitu' Roca from El Celler de Can Roca was named best sommelier, Joan Carles Ibáñez from Lasarte was named best head chef, and Martina Puigvert from Les Cols in Olot won best young chef.  While Catalonia's new additions for the 2024 guide are all Barcelona based, there are Michelin-starred restaurants to be found in all corners of Catalonia. Check out the interactive map below where you can find restaurants according to how many stars they have, and information including the type of cuisine and typical price.  In the 2024 Michelin Guide Spain – the first year without a joint guide with neighboring Portugal – Catalonia is represented with a total of 70 stars, one more than the previous year. While Disfrutar, Suto and Quirat gained stars, two Catalan restaurants lost stars – Angle at Hotel Cram, run by celebrity chef Jordi Cruz, dropped from two stars to one, while La Cuina de San Simón lost its sole star.  Two Catalan restaurants gained a Michelin Green Star for sustainability for the first time - Emporium in Castelló d’Empúries on the Costa Brava, and Algadir del Delta in Amposta, southern Catalonia.   The gala was presented by Andreu Buenafuente and attended by Barcelona mayor Jaume Collboni. It was marked by a tribute to Daniel Redondo, head chef of Celler de Can Roca who died earlier this week in a road traffic accident.  Alineaciones posibles CD Leganés vs RC Celta J11LaLiga and the tension is palpable as two teams from the bottom half of the table with both teams fighting to stay afloat in the relegation battle and expert tips that will help you make informed predictions about this highly anticipated match LaLiga is renowned for its unpredictability their inconsistent performances have kept them at the bottom of the table A win for either team would be a significant boost to their relegation hopes Celta Vigo have been struggling to find consistency in their attacking play marshaled by the experienced Miguel Almirón has been one of the key factors in their survival so far scoring crucial goals throughout the season The head-to-head record between Celta Vigo and Leganés is fascinating winning four of the six meetings between the two teams and they have been known to pull off surprise victories Celta Vigo have been plagued by inconsistency this season The team's attacking play has been lackluster Leganés have been improving under the guidance of Martín Lasarte but they have been inconsistent throughout the season Celta Vigo under Nélson Semedo have been playing a 4-2-3-1 formation with the team relying heavily on their defense to stem the flow of goals Leganés under Martín Lasarte have been playing a 4-3-3 formation Lasarte's tactics have been more adventurous with the team looking to catch their opponents off guard LaLiga's 27th matchday is shaping up to be a thrilling encounter between two teams fighting to stay afloat in the relegation battle Celta Vigo and Leganés have both been inconsistent throughout the season but they'll be looking to bounce back from their previous defeats The match is likely to be a high-scoring affair with both teams looking to catch their opponents off guard Giants Al Ahly have sacked coach Martin Lasarte after the side were knocked out of the Egyptian Cup by Pyramids on Saturday The decision was made at a board meeting of the club on Sunday and comes after Lasarte had led the side to the Egyptian Premier League title last month Assistant Mohamed Youssef will lead the team until a new technical director is appointed which the club has hinted will be from outside the country Uruguayan Lasarte was appointed last December to replace Frenchman Patrice Carteron Ahly won the first leg of their CAF Champions League tie against South Sudan minnows Atlabara 4-0 and are expected to easily complete the job with the second leg on Friday Site managed by according to Miami-Dade Expressway Authority attendance records ATTENDANCE CHART: Board members present during 3-19-13 vote TV Listings Email Newsletters RSS Feeds Closed Captioning / Audio Description Contact Us Careers at WPLG Terms of Use Privacy Policy Public File FCC Applications EEO Report Do Not Sell My Info 1.0 Host Exhibit Copyright © 2025 Local10.com is published by WPLG INC.
