Designed by Zeidler Partnership Architects, The St Regis Toronto Hotel (formerly The Trump Hotel and Residence) is the first of its brand in Canada.  The Hotel includes 261 hotel suites, 118 condominium suites with a super penthouse, 2 levels of recreational space, a spa, a 5 star restaurant and bar, 6 levels of parking, and a residential sky lobby at level 31.

The HIDI Group provided the original base building consulting for the 800,000ft² tower with a total value of $750 million.  Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, communications, A/V, security and lighting services were provided via Alula Lighting Design as part of its scope. The building is connected to the Enwave District Heating and Cooling System.  Connection to this system allows the building to be both energy and space efficient due to the lack of boilers and chillers required.

Challenges

One of the challenges faced during construction was that the building’s hotel and residence was still occupied and operational.
