167 East 61st Street, formerly Trump Plaza, is a prestigious Upper East Side co-op with luxurious amenities and attentive staff. The building is pet-friendly, allows subletting, and is conveniently located near Central Park, shopping, and entertainment. Currently, 4 apartments are for sale.
Built in 1984 by Donald Trump and designed by Philip Birnbaum, 167 East 61st Street is a 39-story, 175-unit cooperative on the northwest corner of Third Avenue. Originally known as Trump Plaza, the building features a distinctive trefoil plan with wrap-around bronze topped balconies and a striking double height lobby with a two-story waterfall. The tower sits on a low-rise base with curved glass windows and polished red granite sidewalk planters. Notably, the building is no longer a land lease property, and it played a significant role in the revitalization of Third Avenue in the 1980s.
The building's architectural significance extends beyond its own design. Two years after its completion, a nearly identical tower, The Savoy, was built catty-corner at 200 East 61st Street, also designed by Birnbaum. The similarity sparked a legal dispute over design rights, with the settlement establishing an important precedent about architectural design protection. Together, the twin towers serve as a gateway to the Upper East Side from the Queensboro Bridge and Bloomingdale's, creating unusual vistas and angles with their trefoil layouts.
The full service building offers a 24 hour doorman and concierge, fitness center, children's playroom, private community garden, on-site parking garage, and storage facilities. The cooperative is pet friendly and permits pied-Ă -terre ownership, co purchasing, and gifting. Subletting is allowed after one year of ownership for a maximum of five years. The building allows up to 80% financing, and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows with wrap-around corner terraces, particularly in the building's signature corner units. Common features include open living and dining layouts, windowed kitchens with high end appliances such as Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf ranges, and Miele dishwashers, and in-unit washer/dryers in many residences. Living rooms in two bedroom units typically range from 24 to 37 feet long, while larger units include a 3,200 square foot duplex with custom wine cellar. Higher floor apartments offer views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, with renovated units showcasing marble bathrooms, hardwood floors, and smart home technology.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
