George Norcross, a prominent New Jersey Democratic power broker, and undisclosed partners acquired the former Trump Plaza site on Atlantic City’s Boardwalk from a company linked to billionaire Carl Icahn. County records indicate the sale was recorded in September for about $5 million. The casino closed in 2014, and its main tower was demolished in 2021, though an East Tower, parking garage and operating Rainforest Cafe remain. Norcross’s spokesperson called the oceanfront property a development opportunity, but the group has not disclosed plans or a timeline. Mayor Marty Small welcomed the investment while saying no additional casinos will be permitted.

Pending sales hit their lowest level since 2013 while inventory grew, giving buyers more negotiating leverage, though high borrowing costs continue to limit affordability.

Courts across several states issued mixed rulings in family estate disputes: Mississippi and Louisiana appeals courts upheld wills favoring the deceased men’s chosen beneficiaries, while a Minnesota court said a farm-ownership decree could not be reopened. In Washington, a judge overturned will changes benefiting two siblings after finding they financially exploited their father, potentially leaving his eldest son in control of most of the family fortune.
