0:13Now PlayingDemolition started Monday at the White House to begin building President Donald Trump’s ballroom.
The White House announced the project in July, detailing a "much-needed and exquisite addition" of 90,000 square feet with a 650-person seated capacity, larger than the East Room's 200-person capacity.
President Trump posted on Truth Social Monday evening to say ground had been broken on the ballroom construction.
"Completely separate from the White House itself, the East Wing is being fully modernized as part of this process, and will be more beautiful than ever when it is complete!" he wrote.
"For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits, etc. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway — with zero cost to the American Taxpayer!" he continued.
The White House has said it will disclose information on who has contributed money to build the $250 million ballroom, but has yet to do so.
