Trump Tower Toronto
From WikiCover
Announced October 12, 2007, construction of Toronto's $500-million, five-star, 57-storey, Trump International Hotel and Tower is underway, with a 2010 completion date. Located at 325 Bay Street, in the heart of the city's financial and business district, the landmark will set a new standard for luxury and elegance in Toronto.
Upon completion, Trump International Hotel & Tower will be the tallest and most luxurious residential building in Canada. The first Trump property to be situated in Canada will feature 118 luxury residences and 261 hotel guest rooms and suites. Although pre-construction inventory is entirely sold out, a limited release of suites will be available later this fall and are expected to be priced from the $900,000s for hotel condominiums and $1.6-million for residential condominiums (CAD).
Residential floors, on levels 33-53, will be restricted to four-to-six suites per floor, with many having direct, secure elevator access. Eleven- to 13-ft. floor-to-ceiling windows will offer spectacular views of the city's skyline. The top four floors will house the 4,250- to 7,700- sq. ft. penthouse residences, featuring great rooms, libraries, galleries and spectacular entry foyers and terraces. Many of the 118 residences will have separate service entrances to ensure seamless hosting and entertaining.
The hotel's 261 rooms and suites will occupy the lower portion on the building, on levels 11-29. Deluxe studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, ranging from 570 to 1,660 sq. ft., will offer guests the largest accommodations in the city. The top floor of the hotel, Level 29, will offer five exclusive suites with additional services and amenities, including the 4,000-sq.ft. Presidential Expo Suite, which will feature a state-of-the-art media room, as well as access to a boardroom and lounge for hosting meetings and social gatherings.
The commercial areas of the building will serve both hotel guests and residents. A high-tech business centre will cover an entire floor. A sushi and martini bar will welcome guests as they enter the first floor lobby. A two-level spa and fitness center on the 30th and 31st floors will help smooth away stress while catering to the most demanding fitness regimens. An exclusive dining establishment on the 30th floor will offer gourmet food and wine as well as breathtaking views of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower. A private dining room will also be available.
Residents will have 24-hour access to two chauffeur-driven S-Class Mercedes sedans (or comparable luxury vehicles). Parking will be accommodated between levels two and seven of the building.
The building was designed by the Toronto-based firm Zeidler Partnership Architects.
Construction will be overseen by the Lewis Builds Corporation, an independently-owned, full-service, Canadian construction firm. Construction financing of CAD $310-million has been arranged by Raiffeisen Zentralbank Osterreich (RZB).
