Trump's Name Is Removed From Trump Place, the Latest Licensed Property to Shed the President's Branding

By Glenn Fleishman October 18, 2018

Nearly 70% of condominium owners in Trump Place voted to remove the giant metal letters from the Manhattan building’s east and west facades, the condo board informed residents in an email Oct. 17 obtained by the Washington Post. The vote took place over a few weeks recently, and the email tabulated the results.

This isn’t the first residential building or hotel that’s shed the Trump name since Donald Trump became president. Reasons varied from residents’ discomfort to business disputes to a sense of impropriety.

The Trump Toronto, a 65-story hotel and condominium building that shed glass after it opened in 2012 and remained in a poor financial state five years later, dropped the name in June 2017 without public rancor after anti-Trump protests around the building. Trump’s name was licensed for the building, which he neither built nor owned.
The Trump SoHo violated zoning laws, had a worker plunge to his death during construction, and was the scene of protests. Its current owners paid the Trumps to give up their role, and changed the name.
The Trump Panama lost its name with a lot of drama that involved people locking themselves into conference rooms, screaming, and the intervention of armed police and court officials. The Trump Organization didn’t own the building—though the company did manage it—and a court ordered it to stand down its attempts to continue in that role.
