The 58-story [2] Trump Tower is the 64th tallest building in New York City , at 664 feet (202 m) high. [1] [37] The tower, designed by Der Scutt of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell , is a reinforced concrete, shear wall core structure and, at the time of its completion, was the tallest structure of its type in the city. [38] The 28-sided structure, with a jagged facade, was intended to give the tower more windows. [9] A concrete hat-truss at the top of the building, similar to one used in the Trump World Tower , [39] ties exterior columns with the concrete core. This increases the effective dimensions of the core to that of the building in order to resist the overturning of lateral forces such as wind , minor earthquakes , and impacts perpendicular to the building’s height. [38] The building's main entrance is at Fifth Avenue, with a side entrance at 56th Street for "private use." [5] Its public spaces are clad in Breccia Pernice, a pink white-veined marble. [40] Four gold-painted elevators transport visitors from the lobby to higher floors; one elevator leads directly to the penthouse where the Trump family lives. [40] Mirrors and brass are used throughout, with the apartments well furnished and the kitchens outfitted with "standard suburban" cabinets. [7] This includes the office lobby, located off Fifth Avenue, [41] and the five-level atrium which features a 60-foot-high (18 m) internal waterfall alongside the eastern wall spanned by a suspended walkway atop, [41] [42] shops, cafés, and a pedestrian bridge that crosses over the waterfall’s pool. [5] [42] The atrium is bedecked in marble, which has been described as "rosy and yellow," and is crowned with a skylight. [42] Many of the apartments are well furnished, [40] but some of the upper-floor commercial spaces come unfurnished, such as Donald J. Trump for President Inc.'s headquarters on the fifth floor.

Originally proposed to be 1,300 feet (396 meters) in 2011, [4] the structure topped out at 1,396 ft (426 m). [3] [5] [6] It was developed by CIM Group and features 104 condominium apartments. Construction began in 2012 and was completed on December 23, 2015. [ en.wikipedia.org
