The project will be a $450 million dollar, 46 story, 400 unit hotel condominium. The building will feature a spa, a high-end restaurant as well as over 12,000 square feet of conference and banquet facilities. A unique feature of the hotel will be its 360-degree views from the 12th floor and up. Envisioned as Manhattan’s first “condo-hotel,” every unit in the Handel Architects-designed building will be sold individually to buyers who might live there year-round, from time to time or seasonally. All owners will be free to offer up their Rockwell Group-designed units as hotel rooms. Supporters maintain that the structure will be a hotel and that it will bring nearly 400 jobs and much needed event space to the community. Trump and his partners claim that the development is “as of right” and requires no rezoning or variances.

A construction worker fell from the 42nd floor on 1-14-08 due to a wooden structure that collapsed while workers were pouring concrete. Because of this, NYC's buildings department has issued a stop work order on this project.
