In the mid-70s, Donald Trump started the construction of the luxury hotel Grand Hyatt in New York. Trump was lucky: in 1974 he became the winner of the tender for the purchase of the Commodore Hotel, and on its place, in a few years, the new hotel was built. In addition, the city authorities granted tax breaks to the businessman for 40 years.
One of the most important projects in the beginning of Donald Trump's career became the construction of 58-storey skyscraper Trump Tower on the luxury Fifth Avenue in New York. The new Trump's building was the highest and most exquisite in New York at that time (1983). It is noteworthy that the inhabitants of the "Big Apple" liked these elite offices and all of them were sold out in no time. It is worth noting that Trump preferred to construct the expensive buildings, while his father was engaged in construction of affordable houses.

A little later, Trump initiated a gaming empire in Atlantic City. Together with Holiday Inns Corporation the businessman built the entertainment complex with casino and so on.

Despite the apparent success, in 90s Donald Trump's debts reached $ 9.8 billion, while the cost of the millionaire's assets estimated at $1 billion.
