I have a question about:
"So commenced work on the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto."
Does it mean:
Work on the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto started in that way"??


Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Camera flashes glinted on the shovels as the grinning dignitaries plunged them into a neat patch of dirt on which had been painted the word “Trump." So commenced work on the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto. “People really want to own what I do,” Donald Trump told an interviewer that day, declaring that, among other qualities, the tower would be “taller than other buildings."
