The Trump International Hotel & Tower displays the letters 'TR' after workers began taking down the 'Trump' sign in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on July 18, 2017.

The owners of the property formerly known as the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Toronto, where condo sales officially began Thursday, started by removing the “Trump” sign from the 65-story building. It was given a new name -- it’s the Adelaide Hotel until it eventually becomes a St. Regis -- and some condo units have been updated with lighter backsplashes, floors and countertops. Later, the building’s “champagne-and-caviar” themed lobby of black marble and heavy curtains will be gutted.
