Trump Village is a seven-building apartment complex in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City, U.S.^[1]^[2]

History[edit]

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 building complex named for Fred Trump rather than his son Donald.^[7]
