About Trump World Tower
Trump World Tower, a residential condominium tower, stands in Turtle Bay, part of Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Its address is 845 United Nations Plaza, between 47th and 48th Streets along First Avenue. Donald Trump developed it, and it was built from 1999 to 2001. The architect Costas Kondylis designed the tower, which has 376 units. Its curtain wall facades are dark, bronze-tinted glass, and the big windows give wide views over the East River and Midtown Manhattan. It is built of concrete to make it more resistant to wind.
Its height is given as 262 m (861 ft), though the city's Department of Buildings records list 257 m (843 ft). The tower has 72 floors, but the top one is labeled 90: Trump worked out the numbering by declaring the building 270 m (900 ft) high and dividing by 10. In plan it is a rectangle 23 by 44 m (77 by 144 ft); its slenderness ratio is 11:1. For a short time it was the world's tallest all-residential tower, until Dubai's 21st Century Tower (2003) and Seoul's Tower Palace 3 (2004) were finished.
In 1997 Trump and his partners, among them the South Korean chaebol Daewoo Corp., agreed to buy the site for $52 million from the United Engineering Trustees. He also obtained air rights, unused, from at least seven neighboring low-rise properties, and demolition began in October 1998. Many neighbors objected to the tower's height and its exterior without distinguishing features, and worried it would dwarf the United Nations headquarters across the street. The opponents were defeated in state court, and construction began in 1999.
