Middleton & Gendron and Owen Blicksilver PR are representing Trump Hotel Collection and Colony Capital, the winning bidders to redevelop Washington, D.C., Old Post Office Building.
Trump and Colony won a competition by the U.S. General Services Administration with pitch to include guest rooms, suites, eateries, banquet and meeting facilities, library, curated museum and gardens among the features of the property, to be named Trump International Hotel, The Old Post Office.
The ornate Pennsylvania Avenue building was completed in 1899 and renamed after former National Endowment for the Arts chair Nancy Hanks in 1983 when she led an effort to avoid its demolition.
Congress directed the GSA in 2008 to enter a long-term lease for development and restoration of the property.
