Eric Trump has vowed to see through plans to build hundreds of new homes at the family's Balmedie golf course - even if it takes 10 years or more.
The son of former president Donald Trump was speaking to the Press & Journal from Florida.
It's more than three years since councillors approved the £150million proposals, despite thousands of objections.
Eric, who now runs the Trump Organisation with his brother Don Jr, has taken a leading role in the Menie Estate in recent years.
That means he is charged with driving forward the plans for as many as 500 houses and 50 holiday homes there.
Last year the plans took a big step forward, as lawyers hammered out a deal on how much Trump International would have to pay Aberdeenshire Council for the project.
Progress
Since then, however, there has been little sign of any progress.
Hundreds of people are said to have already registered an interest in living at the properties, while thousands called for the proposals to be axed.
Parties both for and against have now been assured that the so-called Trump Estate will be built.
Eric told the P&J the housing plan "remains a big priority".
But it will come after the creation of a second course at the coastal site, which is hoped to be ready by early 2025.
The 39-year-old businessman added: "We're going to finish the second course, we're going to make that exceptional and we're going to keep on rolling, as we always do.
Properties
"These properties, given their size and magnitude, they can take a decade to build out - sometimes more.
"We built the first course, and it's made waves around the world. The second course is going to do the same thing.
"There are a lot of other components to the property to come."
There will be two-bedroom to five-bedroom cottages, as well as townhouses and mansions - with property prices beginning at £295,000 and going up into the millions.
