Dominating Fifth Avenue, in its powerful style, Donald Trump’s brainchild Trump Tower was built in 1983 by architects Swanke, Hayden & Connell. The 68 storey building has an all glass and bronze façade that blends well into the environment.
The public spaces inside the building are decked in marble, brass and mirrors. The gigantic five-level atrium has an arresting waterfall. Natural light passes through the monolithic skylight that caps the atrium. To cross over the waterfall’s pool, there is a pedestrian bridge for public use.
The first six stories of the building house a mall, where the retail shops and eateries keep busy. Latest fashions can be found on display in chic interior decor. During Christmas season, the base of the tower plays host to choral groups, when passer byes add celebration to the charming display.
Above the mall, the apartments and the offices make it a mixed use building. Donald Trump resides in the Tower’s penthouse valued at more than $100 million. If you are in the city, this is quintessential New York that you do not want to miss. You may walk out with less money but it is worth the experience.
