Residents at Trump Plaza, a 40-story high-rise in the suburban New York city of New Rochelle, are pushing for the building to be renamed and to escape a near-two decade association with the legally-troubled ex-president and real estate mogul.
It would follow the slew of buildings in New York City and elsewhere that have abandoned the Trump name since he entered politics, as Trump has become a divisive, much-loathed figure by liberals even as he is loved by his fans.
Trump Plaza is located in the center of New Rochelle, a couple of blocks from restaurants and the local movie theater. Renaming the building would spare residents and workers in this racially diverse city of 80,000 people from encountering, at least visually, the Trump name.
The New York Post reports:
The condo board voted in 2021 to officially get rid of the Trump Organization and turned over management to real estate giant AKAM — although the Trump name remained firmly attached to the façade.
But while a small cluster of owners and renters embrace the upscale image once associated with Trump’s name, others say the ex-president’s subsequent controversy and legal wrangling is a sign that it was time to let go.
“While there is a small and very vocal group of owners who do not support the name change, there is a silent majority who we believe support the name change,” board president Gerg Root told The Post in an email this week.
