Updated: October 1, 2023

This post is a list of buildings or locations in NYC associated with or built by Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.

Many of these buildings can be seen on our free walking tours.


INTRODUCTION

Donald Trump is the second native New Yorker to be elected to the Oval Office, the first having been Theodore Roosevelt, who was born in Gramercy Park.

Trump, who was born in the borough of Queens, also happens to be one of the biggest real estate tycoons in the city.  

He has more than 30 properties in the United States. Trump's real estate imprint, buildings that he currently or formerly owns, is all over Manhattan.

From Soho to Chelsea, Midtown to Downtown, and Upper West Side to the Upper East Side, there is a Trump connection.

This self-guided tour lists the addresses as well as links to our neighborhood guides so you can explore on your own.  

You might consider timing your visits to these buildings to sync up with one of our many pay-what-you-wish walking tours

If you plan on going here, see our post, Visiting Trump Tower in New York City.

In the summer of 2016, during the height of the presidential election race, a man attempted to scale the building, claiming he had an important message to deliver.

Just days after Trump won the election, protesters gathered outside, changing the flashy class of the tower into a site of the outrage. This video shows both:

LOWER MANHATTAN

40 Wall Street

Between Nassau Street and William Street 

40 Wall Street

Also known as the Trump Building, this 71-story commercial skyscraper, completed in 1930 after 11 months of construction, is probably the most historic of all of Trump's buildings.

Originally known as the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building as well as the Manhattan Company Building, it was renamed the Chase Manhattan Bank building then bought by Donald Trump and renamed The Trump Building.  

It remains 100% commercial space.  

In 2003, Trump's efforts to sell the building for more than $300 million proved unsuccessful. In 1998, the building was designated an NYC landmark.

In 2007, Trump stated he paid $1 million for 40 Wall Street and that it was worth $600 million in 1995, a $200 million increase from two years earlier.  

It has also been reported that he paid $10 million and which is worth about $400 million.

Trump bought it in 1994 with the intention of making it a part condo part hotel. In April 1996, Trump said that he would move into the building's penthouse.  

He also said the address would be changed from 7 Columbus Circle to 1 Central Park West.  

Out front, as an homage to the Unisphere located in Trump's home borough of Queens, is a 30-foot-wide silver globe, titled “Trump International".

Speaking of film locations, many of our tours, including Central Park, Midtown Manhattan, and Grand Central feature many movie locations.

From the bridge, you can fabulous views of both the downtown and midtown skylines.


Riverside South & Trump Place

along the Hudson River between 59th and 72nd Sts. 

Trump Place and Riverside South

In the 1970's Trump partnered with six civic associations to build this 3.5 billion dollar, 57-acre urban development.

Built on the former New York Central Railroad yard, it includes Trump Place and Riverside Center. Trump sold it to investors from Hong Kong and China in 1997. 

Trump parlayed his sale of Riverside South into two premier office buildings: 1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street in San Francisco.  

This is considered the most lucrative deal of Trump's career, accounting for the largest percentage of his net worth, approximately $3.5 billion, according to Fortune Magazine. 

The three buildings that make up Trump Place is no longer emblazoned with the Trump name.  

During the election race, residents of these buildings began a petition to have the name removed based on offensive statements and actions then-nominee Trump made.  

The three buildings are now known simply by their street addresses: 140, 160, and 180 Riverside Blvd. 


CENTRAL PARK SOUTH

Trump Parc and Trump Parc East

Central Park South and the southwest corner of 6th Avenue

Trump Parc

These two adjoining buildings are owned by The Trump Organization.  

Trump Parc East is a 14-story apartment/condominium building built in 1929 and Trump Parc (the former Barbizon Plaza Hotel) is a 38-story condominium building. 

Trump bought the Barbizon Plaza Hotel and 100 Central Park South in 1981 for $13 million.

At the time, 100 Central Park South was a rent-controlled building with 80 apartments.  

After a long stretch of legal battles between Trump and the tenants of 100 Central Park South, a final settlement was reached in 1988. 

The building was converted to a condominium and 51 units remained rent-regulated.  

Some tenants here pay less than $1000 a month in rent for a one-bedroom apartment! At one point, Eric Trump lived here.

Central Park is such an amazing place with or without Trump buildings, it is definitely a place to explore.

We offer several different tours of Central Park, including bike tours, walking tours, and a self-guided tour.


CENTRAL PARK

Wollman Rink

Inside Central Park closer to 5th Avenue between 63rd and 64th Sts 

Wollman Ice Rink

This public ice skating rink that operates from October-April is in the southern area of Central Park.  

It opened in 1949 with funds donated by Kate Wollman.  

In case you weren't sure if Mr. Trump had anything to do with this ice rink, it will become clear once you're here.

Trump's name is all along the rink walls and on the Zamboni (ice resurfacing machine).

 The rink was closed in 1980 for a two-year renovation plan at a cost of $9.1 million.  

In 1986, when the project was still not complete and the budget had grown to $13 million, Donald Trump persuaded Mayor Ed Koch to let him take over the project.  

Trump said it would be completed in four months for an additional $2.5 million.

The rink reopened to the public on November 13, 1986, under budget at $2.25 million and two months ahead of schedule.  

Donald Trump operated the rink from 1987 to 1991.  Since 2001, Wollman Rink has been operated by The Trump Organization and Rink Management Services of Mechanicsville, Virginia.  

The two organizations also run the Lasker Rink, located on the north edge of Central Park. The rink has been featured in several movies, including Love Story and Serendipity.  

Speaking of ice skating rinks, if you are here during the winter months, here are other ice skating rinks in New York City.
