In the nine years before he ran for president, Donald Trump’s company spent more than $400 million in cash on new properties – including 14 transactions paid for in full, without borrowing from banks – during a buying binge that defied real estate industry practices and Trump’s own history as the self-described “King of Debt.”

Trump’s vast outlay of cash, tracked through public records and totaled publicly here for the first time, provides a new window into the president’s private company, which discloses few details about its finances.

It shows that Trump had access to far more cash than previously known, despite his string of commercial bankruptcies and the Great Recession’s hammering of the real estate industry.

Why did the “King of Debt,” as he has called himself in interviews, turn away from that strategy, defying the real estate wisdom that it’s unwise to risk so much of one’s own money in a few pro..

“We wanted mixed-use. We wanted more people, more families over here,” says Noyes, who works out of a landscape architecture office on..

Aftershocks from the third-strongest earthquake ever to strike Hawaii rumbled through the Puna area of the Big Island Saturday while lava from Kilauea volcano flowing from eight fissures “went quiet” after destroying at least five homes.

The homes destroyed by the lava were located in the Leilani Estates subdivision on the east rift of Kilauea, where the lava activity had slowed by Saturday afternoon, local media reported.

The subdivision is downslope from the Puu Oo crater, where a total of eight…

Zimmerman Architectural Studios does not have a pool table or a foosball game for its employees. It doesn't have a fully-stocked bar or a roof top deck. But what the Milwaukee architectural firm does have at its Menomonee Valley office is a beautiful 1902 historic building that offers tons of natural light, several large gathering areas and an immense pride from its employees.

The building still even includes some of the machinery from the Milwaukee Gas Light Co. building when it was operated as…
