Trump International Hotel & Tower Fort Lauderdale is the former name of an unfinished luxury condominium-hotel resort located on North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, just a few blocks from Las Olas Boulevard. Designed by Michael Graves, the building was advertised as featuring a health club, spa and pool, and fine dining. The building was to be a partnership between Roy Stillman of New York's Bayrock Merrimac LLC, and New York real estate developer Donald J. Trump. Construction was to be completed by the end of 2009, and was planned to contain 298 Hotel Condominium Units (172 studios, 80 one-bedroom units, 43 two-bedroom units & three Penthouse units). Other firms involved in the project include Stiles Construction Co., Oscar I. Garcia AIA Architects, and Galleria Collection of Fine Homes.
If finished, the building would be located where the 1950s Merrimac and Gold Coast hotels once stood. This is just south of The Atlantic, which is already open, and the W and the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort.
Having defaulted on a $139 million loan, the building faces foreclosure; [1] in November, 2010, Trump announced he was no longer affiliated with the project. [2]
