TORONTO-Trump has hit the halfway point with its $500 millionInternational Hotel and Tower here, a 60-story project that willinclude 118 condos and 261 hotel condos. The New York City-basedcompany has now finished construction of the hotel portion of thebuilding, and will now start building the residential units.

The project at 325 Bay St. had been scheduled for completionthis year, in December. However, a company spokesman says the hotelwill now open in March 2011, with the residences opening later asthey are phased in. He says the condos are 75% sold. “Like everyoneelse at this price point, sales have been slow, with this economyit’s just not the pace we were used to,” he tells GlobeSt.com.

Each residential floor will have fewer than six suites perfloor. The entire building has only a 10,000-square-foot footprint,and no retail is planned for the ground floor, the spokesman says.However, the building, at 908 feet, will be one of the tallest inthe country when completed. The building includes a seven-story,200-space parking garage.
