TAMPA, FL – December 15, 2005 - Donald J. Trump and SIMDAG, LLC. the development partnership for Trump Tower Tampa, announced today that Turner Construction Company has been hired as the general contractor for the 52-story, ultra-luxury downtown condominium.
“Selecting the right general contractor for any construction project is a critical step,” stated Donald Trump. Selecting the right general contractor for a Trump project, one that will also be the tallest residential building on the Gulf of Mexico and a signature property in its market, demands the very best talent for this massive responsibility. Turner is a proven company, one of the nation’s leading general contractors and the most experienced builder of high-rise developments in Florida. They will do a great job.”
The $270-million development will be built on a 1.5-acre site at 111 South Ashley Drive along the Hillsborough River in the heart of Tampa’s fi nancial and cultural districts. The building will feature 190 condominium and penthouse residences ranging from 1,991 square feet to 6,150 square feet and priced from $700,000 to over $6.5 million.
“We are delighted to be the general contractor for what will easily be the most signifi cant residential project on Florida’s west coast,” stated Kevin Glenn, manager of Business Development for Turner. “We understand the magnitude of this project and the impact it will have on the City of Tampa and the downtown area. The quality of our work is a perfect fi t for the demands of Trump and SIMDAG, LLC. What we will build along with our outstanding group of subcontractors, 92 percent of which are from the Tampa Bay area, is unlike anything planned or currently available in the Tampa Bay market.”
“Turner has been involved for some time now on this project as the building’s foundation and seawall shoring work is being performed,” added Bob Lyons, a SIMDAG, LLC. partner. “The new seawall will be completed in mid January and the deep foundation work will begin immediately thereafter. Trump Tower Tampa will be built over the following 33-month period.”
