History

The apartment complex was built in 1963–1964 and developed by Fred Trump, the father of Donald Trump. [1] [3] The complex, built on the site of the former Culver Depot, [4] was designed by architect Morris Lapidus. [2]

The construction cost US$70 million. [5] It was supported by the New York State Housing Finance Agency through public bonds issued by the state of New York, coupled with tax exemption. [6] Five out of the seven buildings were part of the Mitchell-Lama Housing Program until 2007. [3]

It is the only Trump-branded building complex named by Fred Trump rather than his son Donald. [7]
