Representatives of the Bedminster, N.J. club will appear before the township’s land-use Board to outline plans for five new cottages and expansion of an existing cottage, along with construction of a multi-purpose building with rooms for spa treatments, yoga, massages and a dry goods “general store,” and five pickleball courts next to existing paddle tennis courts. The cottage expansion has fueled speculation that President Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner and three children will take up residence on the property.
Representatives of Trump National Golf Club will appear before the Bedminster, N.J. township’s land-use board on December 3rd with plans to construct five new cottages and expand an existing cottage, mycentraljersey.com reported.
In 2015, the township approved 23 cottages on the 504-acre property that borders Interstate 78, mycentraljersey.com reported. Fourteen cottages were built with eight held in reserve for a future site plan, along with another cottage along a local road.
The new plan calls for the eight cottages held in reserve to be reconfigured into five cottages, with plans for the remaining three to be eliminated, mycentraljersey.com reported.
Trump National, under its corporate name of Lamington Farm Golf Club, initially submitted the plan to the township for approval in July, mycentraljersey.com reported. In 2001, when the township granted approval for the first 18-hole golf course on what used to be the estate of John Delorean, cottages were included, but since then, their number and configurations have changed, mycentraljersey.com reported.
The application before the land use board also calls for the construction of a multi-purpose building for members and five pickleball courts next to the existing paddle tennis courts, mycentraljersey.com reported. The two-story multi-purpose building will house rooms for spa treatments, yoga and massage and a dry goods “general store” on the second floor.
Plans for the expanded cottage prepared by architect Edward Mattew O’Brien call for two new bedrooms, a new mud room, a new bathroom and a new veranda on the first floor, mycentraljersey.com reported. The second floor will have an expanded master bedroom, an expanded master bathroom, a new dressing room, a new study, a new bathroom and an expanded bedroom.
When the renovations are completed, the cottage will have seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The new plans have led to speculation that President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, could be planning on making Bedminster home for their three-children family once her father leaves office, mycentraljersey.com reported. The couple was married at the golf club in October of 2009.
Kushner’s family owns real estate throughout central New Jersey, including office buildings in Bridgewater, N.J., mycentraljersey.com reported.
Former New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez once lived in one of the cottages and Jets owner Woody Johnson, now the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, owns an estate on the other side of Lamington Road from the club, mycentraljersey.com reported.
