This 861-foot-high, 72-story luxury residential tower was the tallest residential tower in the city when it was built. It created a major controversy at the time it was proposed; it led the city in large part to its decision to revise its Zoning Resolution. Trump had assembled several contiguous lots and transferred their development rights to the avenue to significantly increase the size of his sheer tower. This outraged many of its neighbors, who fought unsuccessfully to block it.
