Trump International Hotel & Tower, Toronto is a mixed-use skyscraper currently under construction in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is being built by Talon International Development Inc., which is owned by Val Levitan and Canadian billionaire Alex Shnaider.
It is named for famed real estate developer Donald Trump, who is a minority shareholder in the project. The tower will be located at the heart of the financial district, at 311 Bay Street, on the southeast corner of Bay and Adelaide. Construction has begun with the removal of the sales centre in September 2007, but the official groundbreaking was Friday, 12 October 2007 with Donald Trump and his golden shovel. The suggested completion date at this time is scheduled for 2010. Construction is well underway with concrete pouring on the 16th level above ground as of 31 October 2009.
