Famous skyscrapers of New York: Trump Tower

The world-famous builder, as well as the billionaire, showman, politician and general businessman "of all trades" - Donald Trump - came to his prosperity due to very skillful work with real estate. Today we will walk through his heritage in New York. And although the number of skyscrapers belonging to him only in the "Big Apple", do not count on the fingers of his hands, we will dwell on one, but the most noteworthy for both the businessman himself and for the city as a whole.

Prehistory of the Skyscraper Trump Tower

New York is recognized as the world center of the structure of skyscrapers. It was here, in downtown, that Donald himself always tried to get down from his early years, helping his father build low-rise outskirts of the "Big Apple". His dizzying career could be a wonderful example for a textbook on successful business. Anyway, one day he was lucky enough to buy a small building right on Fifth Avenue, on the one in the center of the universe. Places on the site were enough to build a skyscraper, which he had long dreamed of. Businessman to the bone, he easily found investment and in 1979 began building the building of the Trump Tower.

Dream Skyscraper

His first really large brainchild he fostered himself. Trump himself designed the design of the building. I personally came to the construction site to supervise the process. He studied the layout of the premises himself, selected many materials for finishing, including the smartest marble, which is now so famous for this building. Closer to the end of construction, in 1983, he ordered an advertising campaign of such magnitude that he managed to increase the prices for magnificent apartments in his skyscraper 12 times. And still the New York wealthy people bought apartments in his world-wide skyscraper, the Tramp Tower.

Own penthouse

The upper three floors, according to the plan of the building, were assigned to his private apartment. This place for more than thirty years of existence has already acquired legends. Trump, like a true billionaire, likes to surround himself with luxury. His penthouse in his own skyscraper is similar to the palace of the French kings. Decorating with gold and diamonds of interior items is the signature hand of the owner of luxury apartments.

In the worst of times, in the early 90s, when the real estate tax crisis nearly spoiled his entire multi-billion dollar empire, he did not sell his Trump Tower and a magnificent penthouse occupying as many as three floors. Although his own airline, and numerous tidbits of blessed American lands for building new heights, have left the hammer. He kept his house afloat. Now analysts estimate the cost of its apartments at $ 50 million. The penthouse is on the list of the most expensive apartments in New York.

World brand

His name has long been a world-famous brand. The beginning of this was due to the creation of the Skyscraper Trump Tower. Since then, he has built many beautiful buildings in many corners of the earth. Now, for building skyscrapers with his name on the facade, almost all Asian companies are fighting. And he continues to surprise his fans with new fads. As you know, this truly media person decided to go into big politics, participating in the pre-election presidential race in the United States.

Conclusion

Concluding this brief review of the work of a great man who conquered the American dream, we should add a few words about the continuation of his career. The crisis of the early 1990s, which nearly drowned this business worker, made him a truly strong person. Thanks to those tests, he not only managed to conquer the construction market again, but also to create many beautiful skyscrapers, including in his beloved New York. For example, a magnificent building named Trump-World Tower.

This ambitious project is really amazing. Despite the strong resistance of the owners of neighboring buildings, he managed to put his highest fully residential skyscraper. So Manhattan bought a stylish building, and the world - another record of building high-rises.
