A crowd of around 200 turned out to sip “Trump-tinis” at Trump Towers’ Atlanta sales gallery on Wednesday night. The $300 million condo building, set to rise at 15th and West Peachtree streets starting in the spring, has 80 firm contracts in place already.
The crowd included Donald Trump’s statuesque offspring Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump, who arrived with bling from her fab jewelry collection. Among the revelers at the jam-packed bash were a fair number of developer types including Mark Randall and Gil Dezer; and designer-to-the-stars Jim Weinberg.
Localistas included music and film producer Dallas Austin, Q-100’s Bert Weiss, gallery owner Uri Vaknin and Corinna Allen of CBS 46’s “Better Mornings.”
