Trump Donald J.
Donald J. Trump is the very
definition of the American success story, continually setting the standards of
excellence while expanding his interests in real estate, sports, and
entertainment.
He is the archetypal businessman
– a deal maker without peer.
Mr. Trump started his business
career in an office he shared with his father in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New
York.
He worked with his father for
five years, where they were busy making deals together.
Mr. Trump has been quoted as
saying,
“My father was my mentor, and I
learned a tremendous amount about every aspect of the construction industry
from him.” Likewise, Fred C. Trump often stated that “some of my best deals
were made by my son, Donald...everything he touches seems to turn to gold.” Mr.
Trump then entered the very different world of Manhattan real estate.
In New York City and around the
world, the Trump signature is synonymous with the most prestigious of
addresses.
Among them are the world-renowned
Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower, and the luxury residential buildings,
Trump Parc, Trump Palace, Trump Plaza, 610 Park Avenue, The Trump World Tower
(the tallest building on the East Side of Manhattan), and Trump Park Avenue.
Mr. Trump was also responsible for the designation and construction of the Jacob
Javits Convention Center on land controlled by him, known as the West 34th
Street Railroad Yards, and the total exterior restoration of the Grand Central
Terminal as part of his conversion of the neighboring Commodore Hotel into the
Grand Hyatt Hotel. The development is considered one of the most successful
restorations in the City and earned Mr. Trump an award from Manhattan’s
Community Board Five for the “tasteful and creative recycling of a
distinguished hotel.” Over the years, Mr. Trump has owned and sold many great
buildings in New York including the Plaza Hotel (which he renovated and brought
back to its original grandeur, as heralded by the New York Times Magazine), the
St. Moritz Hotel (three times…and now called the Ritz Carlton on Central Park
South) and until 2002, the land under the Empire State Building (which allowed
the land and lease to be merged together for the first time in over 50 years).
Additionally, the NikeTown store is owned by Mr. Trump, on East 57th Street and
adjacent to Tiffany’s. In early 2008, Gucci opened their largest store in the
world in Trump Tower. On June 16, 2015, Mr. Trump officially announced his
candidacy for the Presidency of the United States. On January 20, 2017, Mr.
Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, and turned over
the management of The Trump Organization to his eldest sons, Donald Jr and
Eric. trump.com/
