Trump Tower, Mixed-use skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York, United States
This 58-floor tower stands 202 meters (663 feet) tall along Fifth Avenue, combining glass, aluminum, and reinforced concrete in its angled facade. The building houses retail floors below, office spaces in the middle, and residential units in the upper sections.
Construction finished in 1983 on the site where the Bonwit Teller department store once stood near the corner of 56th Street. Planning began in the late 1970s during a period of renewed development in this section of midtown.
The five-story atrium, finished in pink marble and gold, holds shops, cafés, mirrors and an 18-metre waterfall. Donald Trump's then-wife Ivana oversaw the interior design. The tower's numbering skips floors 6 to 13, so the top is marked 68 although official records list 58 stories.
The main entrance is on Fifth Avenue between East 56th and 57th Streets; a separate side entrance on 56th Street serves residents only. The five-story atrium, with its shops and cafes, is open to the public. On the sidewalk opposite the main entrance stands a four-sided brown-and-beige clock nearly 16 feet tall.
The exterior follows a 28-sided geometric pattern instead of the usual rectangular form, creating extra corner windows on each floor. This design allows more natural light to enter the interior spaces than traditional straight facades provide.
