"Bozart is going to be 75 years old and I think he is at the point where he wants to retire," Hoffman said.

According to an article posted observer.com, the listing agent for the property, Michael Passaro of Trump International Realty, said the land is being marketed as a redevelopment piece with options such as residential with townhouses or as a yacht club.
