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

History

The apartment complex was built in 1963–1964 by Fred Trump, the father of the current U.S. President 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]
