Construction is underway on one of Washington, D.C.'s national landmarks: the Old Post Office building.

The woman looking to convert it from an overlooked relic to must-see realty: Ivanka Trump. It's something of a family business, "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell reports.

The Trump name has never quite been synonymous with understatement or modesty, but these days the storied surname made famous by its patriarch has developed a softer, more feminine side in the form of 32-year-old Ivanka Trump.

Her latest project is no small undertaking. She's in charge of transforming the historic Old Post Office building in Washington into a luxury Trump hotel.

It's a $200 million renovation that Trump, who joined her father's company soon after finishing Wharton business school, scored by outmaneuvering other industry titans.

"It's amazing. We beat out pretty much everyone in the luxury hotel space," Trump said.

Hotel development isn't the only project occupying Trump's time; she's also a mother.
