when did the iconic trump tower open its doors
Trump Tower Construction on the building began in 1979. The atrium, apartments, offices, and stores opened on a staggered schedule from February to November 1983. At first, there were few tenants willing to move in to the commercial and retail spaces; the residential units were sold out within months of opening. Since 2016, the tower has seen a large increase in visitation because of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent electionâ€”both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns are headquartered in the tower.
