Acres Quote by Donald Trump
“It [Doral] is 800 acres in the middle of Miami. If you look at the ballroom, that was brand-new ballroom that didn't exist. And it's, you know, one of the great places on earth. We had a construction crew here of 1,600 people. We rebuilt the whole place in about 14 months. We did it under budget, although I did increase the scope of the work, because we decided to use the finest marbles.”
