On October 22, The Washington Post reported that at two ice skating rinks operated by the Trump Organization in Central Park - the Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink - signs that spelled out "Trump," were "no longer visible."

A report by Forbes tallied nine other buildings that have removed "Trump" from its name since he was elected president in 2016.

A Trump Organization spokesperson declined to comment when reached by Business Insider.

From a hotel in Panama City to residential buildings in Manhattan, here's a list of the properties that no longer bear "Trump" in the name.

Both the Wollman and Lasker Rinks, two popular ice-skating rinks in New York City's Central Park, are operated by the Trump Organization.

On October 22, The Washington Post reported that at two ice skating rinks in Central Park — Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink — red signs that spelled out "Trump," were no longer visible.

A spokeswoman for the city's parks department told the Washington Post that the Trump Organization informed them of an "on-rink rebranding" decision back in August. Speaking to the Washington Post, an anonymous rink employee speculated that this was done because the Trump branding "was hurting business."

Six residential buildings on Manhattan's Upper West Side reportedly decided to remove big golden letters that spell out "Trump Place."

In 2016, before Trump took office, The New York Times reported that hundreds of residents at 140, 160, and 180 Riverside Boulevard signed a petition to remove his name from the buildings.

Then, in 2018, The New York Times reported that workers removed the name "Trump Place" from the front and back of 200 Riverside Boulevard, a residential building on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Most recently, in February, The Washington Post reported that the boards at 220 Riverside Boulevard and 120 Riverside Boulevard also voted in favor of removing the President's name from the exterior of each building. It's unclear whether those name removals have actually moved forward yet.

In 2017, the owner of the former Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto announced that the building will no longer display Trump's name.

In June 2017, The New York Times reported that the owner of the building, JCF Capital, announced the end of the Trump Organization's contract to manage the hotel and condominium complex.

The former Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama City is now a Marriott, according to a report by The Washington Post.

In 2018, after a battle with the Trump Organization, the majority owner of the former Trump Panama Hotel, Orestes Fintiklis, ordered the removal of the President's name from the building, according to a report by The Washington Post.

The hotel is no longer doing business with the Trump Organization.

In 2017, the CIM Group paid the Trump Organization to end its contract with Trump SoHo, a hotel in New York City, according to a report by The New York Times.

According to a February report by Bloomberg, the building officially changed its name to the Dominick on December 21, 2017.
