Bill Rancic of ‘The Apprentice’ Signs Contract for Residence in Trump Tower at City Center

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Dec. 13 — Bill Rancic, who catapulted to fame as star of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice,” is Westchester’s newest celebrity resident. The 32-year-old executive has signed a contract to purchase a two-bedroom luxury condominium in Trump Tower at City Center in White Plains.

Mr. Rancic, whose new home in the 35-story tower offers commanding views of the Manhattan skyline, said Trump Tower at City Center combines the best of both worlds — Manhattan-style conveniences, quality and amenities without the high Manhattan prices. “Trump Tower at City Center offers Manhattan-style living that’s priced well below the Manhattan market, and it’s only 30 minutes from my New York City office,” said Mr. Rancic.

“A luxury high-rise condominium in Manhattan with the level of sophistication, convenience and spectacular views of Trump Tower at City Center can easily cost in excess of $2 million in Manhattan, and, typically it offers far less space,” he added.

Trump Tower at City Center features spaciously designed 1-, 2- and 3- bedroom residences priced from $600,000 to $1.6 million. Residents enjoy a full array of luxury amenities and services including 24-hour doorman, concierge service, garage valet parking, a fully equipped state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools and tennis courts; as well as sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and Long Island Sound. Residences feature high-end finishes including hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, marble bathrooms, cherry kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and numerous other luxury features.

Mr. Rancic joins a growing roster of savvy homebuyers who have discovered the tremendous value of Trump Tower at City Center. Since opening for sales in October, contracts for 65% of the 212 condominiums have been signed.

Louis R. Cappelli, who is building Trump Tower at City Center in partnership with Donald Trump, congratulated Mr. Rancic on his purchase. “We are thrilled that Bill will be among the new residents who have chosen Trump Tower at City Center as their new home. Trump Tower at City Center offers the best in sophisticated, luxury high-rise living with all of the advantages of a Manhattan location but at a fraction of the cost,” Mr. Cappelli said.

Donald Trump praised Mr. Rancic for making “an intelligent quality of life decision. He will truly have the best of both worlds of living in a world- class luxury residence that is conveniently located in the heart of Westchester only 30 minutes from Manhattan and five minutes from Trump National Golf Course in Briarcliff Manor.” …

Mr. Cappelli noted that Bill Rancic typified the young professional who works in Manhattan but is “attracted to the sophisticated, high-rise and loft- style living that we are offering in White Plains.” He noted that Trump Tower and The Lofts at City Center are also attracting empty-nesters who have sold their large single-family homes and are seeking maintenance-free living.

“With more than $1 billion in new construction already started or about to begin, downtown White Plains is rapidly emerging as a true 24-hour city with thousands of new residents as well as new stores, theaters and restaurants all within easy walking distance of Trump Tower,” said Mr. Cappelli…
