The 58-story tower wears a curtain wall of gold-tinted, reflective glass and a 28-sided shape built to maximize window exposure. Trump added extra floors in exchange for privately owned public space, including a five-story atrium and outdoor terraces. Visits climbed sharply after Trump's 2016 election.
What to look for
- The four-sided brown-and-beige clock across from the main entrance, nearly 16 feet tall and installed without a city permit
- Brass capital letters spelling 'Trump Tower' above the entrance, 34 inches high in Stymie Extra Bold font
- Floor numbers that skip 6-13, with the top marked '68' though the building may have as few as 48 usable stories
The Fifth Avenue entrance is the public one; the 56th Street side door is for residents only.
