Trump Tower Tampa
Trump Tower Tampa was a proposed 52-story luxury condominium project in downtown Tampa, Florida, announced in 2004 as a partnership between Donald Trump and local developers SimDag/Robel. The development aimed to be the tallest building in the city, offering high-end residential units with views of the Hillsborough River.
Groundbreaking occurred in March 2006, but the project soon encountered significant challenges. By 2007, construction had halted due to soil instability issues and escalating costs. Financial difficulties led to disputes between Trump and the developers, culminating in Trump demanding the removal of his name from the project and filing a lawsuit for unpaid licensing fees. Ultimately, the tower was never built, leaving many investors without full refunds of their deposits.
In 2011, a new group of investors acquired the site with plans for a mixed-use development, but those plans also failed to materialize. As of 2023, construction is underway on the site for the Pendry Tampa, a luxury hotel and condominium high-rise, marking a new chapter for the location.
