Trump Tower

Category: General
Trump Tower is a 58-story skyscraper in New York City located at 725 Fifth Avenue (Manhattan), at the corner of 56th Street.
The mixed-use tower was developed by Donald J. Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company. Designed by Der Scutt of Swanke, Hayden Connell, it was completed in 1983.

The tower is a reinforced concrete, shear-wall/core structure and was the tallest structure of this type in New York City when completed.

The tower is known as the setting for the reality show The Apprentice because the contestants reside in a suite there during the contest; the famous "boardroom" is located there; and the building is featured during the show in several other ways including an occasional morning assignment meeting.

Donald Trump resides in the tower's triplex penthouse.

Although the Trump Tower has 58 constructed floors, it is frequently marketed and cited as having 68 floors. This was a tool used by Trump to market the apartments as being on higher floors than they actually are (and thus commanding higher prices).
