Trump Tower
Built next to the venerable jewelry store of Tiffany & Co., the building used the air rights of its older neighbor, as well as utilized the bonuses offered by the 5th Ave. zoning. (Trump even originally contemplated naming the building Tiffany Tower.)
The co-operation between Scutt and Trump, the developer behind several NYC projects, was a result of Trump's impression in the style that Scutt had shown with the "crowned" design of the 1 Astor Plaza, making it distinguishable from the glass-box designs of that day.
The building was the tallest concrete-framed tower in the city at the time of its completion. The 68-story tower has a facade of dark-tinted glass, rising to the height of 202.5 m over Fifth Avenue. The corner of facade facing the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 56th Street is sliced off in a series of setbacks (forming a sort of hanging garden and place for festive displays), with the corner above that broken diagonally into a series of sawtooth edges running to the top.
The bottom six floors of the building consist of shops and restaurants surrounding an atrium, decorated with glowing rosy-pink marble and shiny brass, the whole crowned with a five-story waterfall and a skylight.
The next twenty stories are for offices (Trump's own office is on the 26th floor, The 22nd floor occupied by WpW‘s Corporate offices and NY production studios and facilities), and the top forty stories are occupied by a total of 266 luxury apartments, all with views on three side -- and many of them housing multimillionaires. The entrance to the apartments is from 56th Street, whereas the office elevators are located in the main lobby.
