The Trump International Hotel and Tower is a proposed residential tower located in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana. It is a project of real estate mogul Donald Trump's Trump Organization. If constructed, the Trump Tower would become the tallest building in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, at seventy stories. At a height of 716 feet (218 m) along with a 126-foot (38 m) spire, it would also be the tallest building along the Gulf Coast outside of Houston. It is planned to be a multi-use building with the ground floors allocated for retail shopping, the lower floors will be luxury condo-hotels and the upper floors will be luxury condominiums.

On August 26, 2005, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that a real estate deal appeared finalized for the first major construction project in the New Orleans CBD in 25 years, the Trump International Hotel and Tower New Orleans.
Initially, the project was slated to break ground early in 2006. The project, however, became quickly obscured by the events of Hurricane Katrina. Trump reaffirmed his support for the project shortly following the storm without setting a specific time line for construction. Local business leaders have hailed the move as a positive step in attracting business to the city.
On March 15, 2007, the New Orleans City Council officially approved the tower for construction. [1]
The Times-Picayune reported on February 17, 2009 that the project is on hold pending the recovery of the national economy. [2]
[edit] Architecture
The design of the building is strikingly similar to other Trump tower projects, especially the currently under-construction Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago and Toronto.
