Chicago, Illinois, United States · Trump Hotels · High Luxury
Adrian Smith of SOM designed the 100-story Trump International Hotel and Tower on the Chicago River site of the old Sun-Times building. Plans for a world-tallest were cut after 9/11; when topped out in 2009 the 1,388-foot spire made it second-tallest in the United States and briefly home to the world's highest residences. Bill Rancic chose to manage its construction after winning the first season of The Apprentice.
