TORONTO — The first building in Canada to bear the name of Donald J. Trump — a 65-story hotel and condominium in downtown Toronto — did not get off to an auspicious start. Shortly after it opened in 2012, it started shedding glass, and for the first of many times, the police had to close the surrounding streets because of falling debris.

On Tuesday, an Ontario court placed the Trump International Hotel and Tower into receivership after the owners failed to make debt payments for more than a year. That came after a three-judge panel on the Court of Appeal for Ontario found last month that the project’s investors had been deceived. And in a third legal action, the hotel’s owners tried to remove the Trump name from the building and cancel his company’s contract to manage the hotel.

Apartments and hotel rooms in the building that were sold as condominiums to dozens of investors have consistently lost money, and are probably now unable to be sold except at a steep loss. The vast majority never found buyers to begin with and have been sitting empty for years.

The failure of the Trump Tower in Toronto, a city that has been one of North America’s most buoyant real estate markets, stands out as a blow to the brand in Canada.
