Trump in Van

We read one article that states "plagued by low occupancy and legal troubles" in Toronto, Trump is now building in Vancouver. Is anyone else perplexed by this move?

Then we read this Forbes article about Trump lending his name to real estate developments in developing countries. 1) This makes sense for developing countries' "American Dream" aspirational values but 2) why is Canada grouped together with these countries? Hasn't Canada tired of the Trump name like our American counterparts? 

Is this poor market research or is Trump actually going to work in Van?

@RateHub.ca It will be interesting to see how this project sells. I am not convinced that Trump or Holborn really understand the Vancouver market.

The hoarding is now up and their marketing strategy is bizarre to say the least... Graphics include a man lighting a cigar with a candelabra, a chef dancing with a gorgeous guest, another beautiful woman throwing herself at a bear, and a fish hanging from a chandelier with two men trying to catch it at the other end.

I actually quite like their unique approach, but I am definitely not their target market.

Here are a couple photos I took of the hoarding:
