The world-famous developer, as well as a billionaire, showman, politician and generally a “do-it-yourself” businessman - Donald Trump - came to his prosperity thanks to a very skillful work with real estate. Today we will go through his legacy in New York. And although the number of skyscrapers belonging to him only in the Big Apple can’t be counted on the fingers of the hand, we will focus on one, but the most significant, for both the businessman himself and the city as a whole.
Background to the Trump Tower Skyscraper
New York is recognized as the world center for high-rise buildings. It was here, in downtown, that Donald himself was always eager from a young age, who helped his father build the low-rise outskirts of the Big Apple. His dizzying career could be a great example for a textbook on successful business. Be that as it may, one day he was lucky enough to buy a small building right on Fifth Avenue, on the one in the very center of the Universe. There was enough space on the site to build the skyscraper that he had dreamed about for so long. A businessman to the marrow of bones, he found investment quite easily and in 1979 began construction of the Trump Tower building.
Dream skyscraper
He fostered his first truly large brainchild himself. Trump personally designed the building design. I personally came to the construction site to control the process. He himself worked out the layout of the premises, picked up many materials for decoration, including the most luxurious marble, which this building is now so famous for. Towards the end of construction, in 1983, he ordered an advertising campaign of such magnitude that he managed to raise prices 12 times for magnificent apartments in his skyscraper. And still, the New York rich people were buying apartments in his Trump Tower skyscraper, which was spread all over the world.
Own penthouse
The upper three floors, according to the building plan, were reserved for his personal apartments. This place has been overgrown with legends for more than thirty years of its existence. Trump, like a real billionaire, loves 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 home decoration is the signature of the owner of a luxury apartment.
In the most difficult times, in the early 90s, when the crisis with real estate taxes nearly ruined his entire multi-billion dollar empire, he did not sell his Trump Tower and a magnificent penthouse, which occupies three floors. Although his own airline, and numerous tidbits of blessed American lands for building with new skyscrapers, went under the hammer. He kept his house afloat. Now analysts estimate the value of his apartment at $ 50 million. The penthouse is on the list of the most expensive apartments in New York.
World brand
His name has long become a world famous brand. The foundation for this was laid by the creation of the Trump Tower skyscraper. Since then, he has built many beautiful buildings in many corners of the earth. Now, many Asian companies are fighting for building skyscrapers with his name on the facade. And he continues to amaze his fans with new quirks. As you know, this truly media man decided to go into big politics by participating in the US presidential race.
