Trump Tower | TravelDojo

Trump Tower is a mixed-use skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, completed in the early 1980s. The building contains retail, office and residential components under a high-rise tower.

Developed and completed by Donald J. Trump and his company in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the project consolidated commercial and residential functions into a single tower that became an iconic part of Midtown Manhattan’s skyline. The building has retained a prominent public profile due to its location and use.

The tower stands on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, within walking distance of Central Park and other major Midtown attractions.

Completion date and size: Completed in 1983, the building is a mixed-use 58-storey skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
Mixed-use nature: It combines retail, office and residential spaces with public-facing ground-floor retail on a prime Manhattan avenue address.

What to See #

Atrium and retail levels: The multi-storey atrium and retail concourse that occupy the lower levels, featuring a large central indoor atrium with shops and public circulation space.
Residential and office tower: Residential and office floors above the podium, housing private residences, offices and corporate suites in the tower portion of the building.

How to Get to Trump Tower #

Trump Tower is on Fifth Avenue between East 56th and East 57th Streets in Midtown Manhattan. It’s a short walk from several subway stations: 57th Street (F) is nearby, and 5th Avenue-59th Street (N, R, W) is also a few minutes on foot; 5th Avenue-53rd Street (E, M) is within a 5-10 minute walk. The tower is in central Midtown so it’s easily reached by taxi or on foot from other Midtown locations; vehicle parking is limited in the area.

Tips for Visiting Trump Tower #
