Setting a New Standard in New York City Architecture
Trump Tower, home to the corporate offices of The Trump Organization, is one of Manhattan’s most distinguished buildings. Completed in 1984, this 68-story super-luxury tower stands at New York’s most prestigious intersection—Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets—right next door to the legendary Tiffany & Co. jewelry store. Its prime location and bold design have made it a defining symbol of prestige in the city.
In 1979, Mr. Trump purchased the existing eleven-story building from Genesco with a visionary goal: to create New York’s first super-luxury high-rise combining high-end retail, office space, and residential condominiums. Architect Der Scutt brought this vision to life with a striking angular silhouette, a gleaming glass façade, and lush outdoor terraces. Anchoring the base is a soaring five-story atrium featuring a dramatic suspended walkway and an exclusive collection of shops, galleries, and restaurants that quickly became one of Manhattan’s premier shopping destinations.
“I like thinking big. I always have. To me, it’s very simple: if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”
Featuring Panoramic Views of Manhattan,
Fifth Avenue and Central Park.
From the 30th to the 68th floor, Trump Tower’s condominiums offer unparalleled privacy and elegance, accessible through a private entrance on 56th Street. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide sweeping views of Central Park and Midtown Manhattan, while residents enjoy world-class amenities and attentive, white-glove service from a dedicated team—many of whom have served the property for decades. These residences set new benchmarks for luxury living, selling out at record prices upon release.
From Boardroom to Global Spotlight
Trump Tower’s prominence extended beyond real estate starting in 2004 with the debut of NBC’s The Apprentice. Featuring the building’s iconic boardroom, team suites, and other key locations, the show turned Trump Tower into a cultural landmark. It was here that the unforgettable phrase “You’re fired” entered television history, helping the series run for 14 successful seasons.
Today, Trump Tower stands not only as a monument to architectural and residential excellence but aslo as a testament to Mr.Trump’s vision and impact across multiple arenas.
