I looked up the floorplans for condos at Trump Tower, and there are only 2 listed with approximately 1,000 square feet on the 35th floor……Floor Plan D, or Floor Plan L. They are basically the same, only inverted. I think this condo is the perfect space, the perfect location, the perfect building, the perfect floor, and the perfect room with a view! What more could a blogger ask for? Everything about this year's Urban Oasis appeals to me. I love it!!!
Glad to see you found it.
To all Urban Oasis Moms – Hope you had or are having a wonderful Mother's Day!!!
Nobody commented today? WOW maybe I do have a chance at this home!
They are all having so much fun over on the Dream Home Site. They are all getting suckered into "Mean Mary's" location scrabble clues! ^_^
Yeah I saw it. Wondering if its all the words or just one.
Begins so fast and then petters out with a whine. Mary – too many homes it seems. I see the names
are the same primarily on each blog. I cannot allow myself to do this again. I promise myself that I will
get ahold on myself and do other work. I started on HGTV in the morning and now it is 1:30pm nothing
else was done – I am ashamed of myself. I will not allow this addiction to continue, I wll not. I'll come
back later to see what Vern has done with it. Mary, I plead with you to be more seasonable and only do
one house at a time and after it is won, then go and start clues on the next. Is there anyone who agrees
with me on any of these blogs? See you guys later.
Wow, I am so happy to hear that Chicago was chosen. This will be another spectacular view I'm sure!
We are so busy making up wrong answers to the clue on DH we forget the UO.
Have missed the Urban Oasis the past several days. Too busy trying to find my way out of the maze that MARY created for us in the Dream Home blog.
At least I know that Chicago, and the Urban Oasis, will still be here while we focus our finest minds, super sleuthing and determined detective work on MARY's devious clues.
Well, we're in Illinois for the Urban Oasis. Will we be in tropical Hawaii for the Dream Home? Could I handle 3 months in Chicago and 9 months in Hawaii? I'm sure I could manage.
Coop, Chicago is wonderful for shopping at Christmas. Michigan Ave makes me drool. My last stop in a shop there was Crate and Barrel. I miss the fun and feel of Chicago.
This condo has everything a person would need right at their doorstep…….Amenities include: fitness center, pool, restaurant, outdoor lounge, spa, nearby shopping, & gorgeous views of the city! Plus, a whole lot more. Why do I even need to leave the building? It is perfect!
The photo gallery on the Trump Tower website is stunning! I can imagine myself living here. Quite happily, I might add.
Its been 10 days now – any word from Vern on his plans for our UO II? And did we get the right floor plan D/L? From the view I think its L.
Love it! Can't wait to see the pictures.
I do have a request for the site layout though…HGTV, is there anyway for the Urban Oasis to have its own tab like the Dream Home and the Green Home have instead of being linked from the DH and GH tabs? So that we can click on the tab and then have options to go to the Blog or Videos of Photos, and etc. just for UO. Maybe it is just me but when I go to view the videos that are not apart of a blog, I can't ever get the screen to expand the way that I can on the DH and GH sections. And I am always concerned that I am missing the latest blog entry from Mary because on the other sites sometimes the previous blog shows on the first screen but when I click on the Blog link then it takes me to the blog section where all of the blogs appear, but on the UO site the only way to get to the blog section is to click on the most recent link that appears. So if this is not the most recent at that time then how do we get to the page that lists all of the blog entries. It may just be me, but I think that this would make navigating through the UO section a lot easier. If anyone has any tricks for navigating through the UO page in a better way, please share.
Thank you!!!
Me <3
My solution to that is to cut and paste the URL into an email to myself. I stash it in a mail folder, along with the links to DH and GH and BC and have easy, quick access to sweepstakes and blogs.
You can mark this as a favorite and you go directly there! Under my favorites tab I have a HGTV folder and in it inks to all of the blogs and to the RSS feed.
I also have a contest folder on my favorites page and links to all of my favorite sweeps- Since contests come and go I edit this one weekly.
Thank you Neb and Moll!!!
Where has Vern shopped in Chicago? We heard some rumblings but it would be nice to see if he has found some out of the way shops!
I am so excited about Chicago! What an amazing city. I really hope Vern Yip is designing for Urban Oasis again. His aesthetic suites this magnificent city perfectly!
I wonder how long it will be until they start releasing pictures of the apartment or more information about the location?
This is my hometown! I love my city! I am BEYOND stoked that it is right here. Bummer that it's a 1bdrm, but- To say, "I live in the Trump Towers"… just wow. Maybe my life will finally take a positive turn and grant me a dream home, right in the heart of the city I love most <3
Mary, I know that the Urban Oasis is small but, is there any chance of it being open for a tour like the DH and GH? It would be so cool to actually get to see it. I will watch for your answer.
Gotta have some of these folks in Chicago too. Maybe one will win the Urban Oasis.

A press release regarding the sweepstakes.
OMG— I love Chicago! @ the Trump Towers, even better……I had the opportunity to go to Chicago once for a huge convention right after Thanksgiving…..The spirit of Christmas is so beautiful their. The decorations, atmosphere, & restaurants are just a few pleasures to enjoy….It was truely a great place…..Shopping, was so much fun in the windy city!^_^B)<3 a perfect urban retreat!
WOWWWWWWWWWW simply amazing, can anyone plz tell me when can we start entering for this sweepstake…..
When you looked at the agreement did you notice that there is nothing about the HOA fees which are over $500 per month. Or that if you choose not to take the apartment and take the money the 1099 you get will be about $100,000.00 above the cash you will get. It seems like a good deal but it isn't. why doesen't HGTV really give away a dream home, no taxes, no HOA, a true dream home.
