After 10 years on the market, Donald Trump’s trust looks to make $35M on lavish penthouse

March 15, 2017

The penthouse at Trump Park Avenue has been on and off the market for an entire decade, first listing for $45 million in 2007, and now returning for $35 million. As LL NYC reports, the President transferred ownership of the 6,278-square-foot apartment in January to the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, of which he’s the exclusive beneficiary. The massive duplex is as ornate as you’d expect from Trump, complete with 22 arched windows, custom tray ceilings with intricate moldings and dripping crystal chandeliers, bathrooms bathed in marble, and two large terraces with panoramic views.

To give you an idea of the penthouse’s saga, here’s it’s yo-yo-ing price history: After the 2007 initial ask, it raised the price to $51 million in 2008 after renovations; the following year, likely affected by the downturn in the market, it got chopped all the way down to $31 million; it then disappeared for a while, returning in 2013 for $45 million again; and a few months later, it dropped to $35 million, where it remained when it returned in the spring of 2015. The latest hiatus has been nearly two years, but it doesn’t seem to be budging from the $35 figure.

Other details include a private elevator, herringbone wood floors, a grand oak staircase, and handcrafted Italian hardware.

There are six bathrooms and four bedrooms; the master suite is accessed via its own private foyer.

Just last month, Trump’s trust sold a smaller penthouse in the building for $16 million to a Chinese businesswoman, the first significant sale at any of the President’s buildings since he took office. Ivanka is also trying to unload a smaller apartment at Trump Park Avenue. She first listed the “starter pad” for $4.1 million or a $15,000/month rental in December, quickly lowering the price in February to $13,000/month.

No one wants to rent Ivanka Trump’s Park Avenue apartment

By Devin Gannon

After months of being on the market, the Manhattan pad of President Donald Trump’s daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump just won’t rent, despite three substantial price chops. The first daughter first purchased the two-bedroom, two bathroom condo at 502 Park Avenue in 2004 for $1.5 million. Upon her father’s election, Ivanka listed the apartment at Trump Park Avenue in November for $15,000 per month. In February, the price dropped to $13,000 per month. On Tuesday, the asking price was $10,450 per month, a 30 percent price cut since the presidential election, according to Bloomberg.

Ivanka Trump’s Park Avenue starter pad, still without a buyer, gets a rental price chop to $13K a month

By Michelle Cohen

As 6sqft previously reported, Ms. Trump and husband Jared Kushner, now senior adviser to President Donald Trump, first listed their apartment at 502 Park Avenue for $4.1 million in December; Ivanka purchased the home for $1.52 million in 2004. The classic and somewhat girly Park Avenue pad with Tiffany-box blue walls has also been on the rental market, first at $15K and, as Mansion Global reports, just reduced to $13,000 a month. Ivanka also owns one of the building’s penthouses–it's the Trump/Kushner family's main home when they're in town– that she bought for $16 million nearly six years ago.

Ivanka Trump puts her stodgy Park Avenue pad up for sale, asks $4.1M

By Annie Doge

It looks like America's next first daughter—and quasi-first lady—is looking to slim down her real estate holdings. As Luxury Listings NYC first reports, Ivanka Trump has just listed her apartment at 502 Park Avenue for $4.1 million. The somewhat bland spread hosts two bedrooms and two baths and is outfitted in a palette of cream and powdery blue hues. Although one might think the sale has something to do with her father's recent presidential victory—as not even two weeks ago, CNN reported that she and husband Jared Kusher were house hunting in Washington D.C.—Ivanka, in fact, also owns one the building's penthouses, which she bought for $16 million nearly six years ago. It's also been no secret that the Trump/Kushner brood has been mulling a move into the Puck Penthouses, one of Jared's beautiful ultra-luxe developments.
