Trump International Hotel & Residence


Trump International Hotel & Residence was a proposed real estate development in Phoenix, Arizona.

Background

In 2004, prominent New York real estate developer Donald Trump proposed a $200 million luxury hotel-condominium development at 26th Street and Camelback Road in the highly upscale Camelback Corridor of Phoenix.
The Camelback East Village Subcommittee on March 2, by a 3-2 vote, affirmed height limits for the area, which had existed since the 1990s. City staff had recommended raising that limit to after Trump announced his proposal. Although Trump and his development partners never officially filed plans, they proposed an 18-story,,, 250 unit luxury condominium hotel.
As of December 21, 2005, the project was cancelled and Trump withdrew his association with the project when the City Council succumbed to intense neighborhood opposition and a looming referendum fight. Other developers such as shopping center owner Westcor were forced to radically change similar proposals as a result.
