Two Trump Palace buyers want out.


Two prospective purchasers of Trump Palace apartments are seeking recission by the State Supreme Court of contracts to purchase three units in the luxury condominium condominium

In modern property law, individual ownership of one dwelling unit within a multidwelling building. Unit owners have undivided ownership interest in the land and those portions of the building shared in common.
.

Among the reasons for the request, the thick papers which include the prospectus and all the amendments, cite the loss of the Trump "name brand" value and the nondisclosure of important facts in either the offering plan or the amendments, which relate to some $550,000 million in personal guarantees.

Donald J. Trump's attorney, Jay Neveloff, a partner at Kramer, Levin, Nessen, Kamin & Frankel, said "There's nothing new or novel in the lawsuit."

Although threats of recission have been made by other contract vendess, Neveloff said he has already closed on 40 units, has closing scheduled for 30 more and is negotiation on 50 other units. That would leave several of the original 77 contracted units which have not yet scheduled a closing and are not a part of this lawsuit. There are 283 units in the glamorous highrise on Third Avenue and 69 street.

Other purchasers have discussed the situation, Neveloff remarked, adding, "These people just felt it was better to sue than close."

Two of the contracted units are on high floor. The purchase prices are $2.45 million, $1.8 million and $923,000 and the litigants have already put up 25 percent, $1.29 million of the total $5.17 million, in two payments of 10 percent and 15 percent.
