Trump Palace Condominiums

Trump Palace Condominiums is a 54-story residential tower on the Upper East Side in Manhattan offering apartments with views of the city skyline and Central Park. The building stands about 190 meters tall and features a granite facade with Art Deco elements.

Construction began in 1989 on the site of the former New York Foundling Hospital after the property was acquired. The building's completion in the early 1990s marked a shift in how tall residential structures were built on the Upper East Side.

The building shapes the look of the affluent Upper East Side neighborhood with its distinctive facade that blends modern design and classic details. It stands as a landmark reflecting how the area reinvented its architecture during the 1990s.

The building sits on East 69th Street and is easily reached by subway and bus lines that stop nearby. As a residential building it is not open to the public for tours, but the exterior can be viewed from the street.

The structure held the title of tallest residential building on the Upper East Side until 2017 when another tower surpassed it. This long reign as the neighborhood's most dominant high-rise made it a familiar landmark for many years.
