The Real Estate Trump Actually Owns in NYC, Revealed

A decade ago, Donald Trump's presence in New York City's real estate landscape seemed omnipresent, but recent events have unveiled a different reality. Trump's grip on the city's property market has been loosening steadily over the years.

Legal Troubles and Financial Struggles

Trump's troubles escalated with a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing him and his family of inflating property values to obtain favorable loans, resulting in a judgment against the Trump Organization totaling $454 million. Although Trump has appealed, his financial challenges are evident as he struggles to secure a required appeal bond.

Trump's Actual Holdings

Trump's real estate holdings in New York City are more modest than commonly believed. Many properties bearing his name have severed ties with him, leaving his actual ownership limited to specific components or units within certain buildings.
