Donald Trump: An All-American Tale


TRUMP FACT #5:  TRUMP TOWER, MANHATTAN

Trump Tower is a 58-story, 664-foot-high skyscraper located at 721–725 Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Trump Tower serves as the headquarters for The Trump Organization.

Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residences of Trump himself (when he’s not acting as the sitting U.S. President).  Several members of the Trump family also reside, or have resided, in the building. The tower stands upon a plot where the flagship store of department-store chain Bonwit Teller was formerly located.

In 1979, construction of the building began, with a design by Der Scutt, of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell, and development by Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company (renamed the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company in 2004).  The building was opened in February of 1983.
