About Trump Place 220 Riverside Boulevard, 220 Riverside Boulevard
This handsome, 49-story, 440-unit, condominium apartment tower was completed in 2003 as one of the major buildings in Donald Trump's enormous redevelopment of the former rail yards at the south end of Riverside Park.
Designed by Costas Kondylis & Associates, it is notable for its attractive circular roof that is illuminated at night.
The orange-brick tower, which rises at the south end of its large base, is 542 feet high and has commanding views of the Hudson River and much of Manhattan. It is about three stories taller than the adjacent Trump tower to the south and is the tallest building in the northern section of Trump Place, the developer's $3 billion project that calls for a total of about 5,700 apartments, about 140,000 square feet of retail space and a 21.5-acre park to be completed by about 2012 between 59th and 72nd Streets south of Riverside Park.
This tower is immediately south of 240 Riverside Boulevard, the northernmost building in the vast complex that has a very attractive, large curved base at the foot of Riverside Park and facing an exit ramp from the West Side Highway at 72nd Street. The city agreed in 2004 to close this exit ramp to facilitate the widening of Riverside Boulevard, the interior north/south road in the complex.
A full-service building, this tower is more narrow on its north-south sides than its east-west sides. It has a concierge, a doorman, a garage, a health club, basement storage and central air-conditioning.
