Nov 07, 2024

Now that President-elect Donald Trump has secured another term with his Election Day victory over Kamala Harris, attention has turned to where Trump will live when not at the White House.

Trump's estate in Mar-A-Largo estate might be Trump's warm-weather go-to residence when not at the nation's capital, but Florida is far from Washington, DC.

Could Trump instead stay at his namesake Trump Tower? Here's everything to know about trump Tower.

Trump Tower, a 58-story skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, is one of the most prominent fixtures of New York City’s skyline.

Completed in 1983, the building features a bronze-glass exterior creating and mirrored glass panels.

The base of Trump Tower features a large waterfall over a pink marble wall inside a five-story atrium, which includes upscale retail spaces and a public seating area.

The 663-foot tall skyscraper has a mix of office space, high-end retail stores, and residential units with panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.

"Trump Tower is home to three distinct dining facilities: the world-renowned Trump Grill, casual fare Trump Café, and the elegant Trump Bar," read a portion of the Trump Tower website. "One of the most notable features of Trump Tower is the breath-taking 60-foot waterfall embellishing the eastern wall of the building.

"The combination of the luxury condominiums, world-class restaurants and high-end stores make Trump Tower a building of unparalleled luxury."

Trump Tower sits at 721 Fifth Avenue.

Trump Tower is located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, near iconic landmarks like Central Park and Rockefeller Center. It’s about a 15-minute walk from Times Square and is a popular stop for tourists visiting New York City.

Only the atrium inside Trump Tower is open to tourists, but people often visit just to take pictures outside the building, especially near its grand entrance.

During his first term, Trump occasionally stayed at Trump Tower when he wasn’t in Washington, D.C., and his presence often drew crowds of supporters, onlookers, and media hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

Security was typically increased around the building during these visits.

Published reports indicate former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, late pop megastar Michael Jackson, and entertainer Liberace booked executive suites at Trump Hotel.

According to that same report, Paul Anka and Bruce Willis also had residences in Trump Tower at some point.
