Trump Tower is a 45-story skyscraper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

It is located at 709-717 North Penn Street on an existing man made peninsula extending 700 feet into the Delaware River. The tower is being developed by Donald J. Trump. It was designed by William Alesker (Alesker & Dundon) and is scheduled to be completed in 2009.

Floors 5 through 44 contain 263 residences ranging from 3 bedroom duplex homes to spacious studios. All apartments have large living rooms and master bedrooms opening on to room size balconies overlooking the river.

The buildings 30-foot high garden like lobby is entered from the riverfront walkway. In-door amenities for the residents include a screening room, cigar lounge, wine cellar, spa and fitness center.

By way of a separate lobby entrance and dedicated elevator, residents and guests of the restaurant and spa will arrive at a 4th level resort which in addition to indoor and outdoor dining on the river and a full service spa, offer residents a swim out indoor-outdoor pool as well as whirlpools, sundeck, fitness center and function room.
