An apartment just one floor below Donald Trump's opulent triplex at Trump Tower in New York City has hit the market for the first time in 30 years with an asking price of $8.99 million.
The three bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home inside the landmark skyscraper at 721 Fifth Avenue promises luxury living with a number of perks.
This 3,500 square foot apartment, listed by realtor Michelle Griffith at Douglas Elliman, offers incredible awe-inspiring views at every turn on three sides of the building.
Whether gazing north over the greenery of Central Park or south at the gleaming Midtown skyscrapers, the apartment offers quintessential New York living with a flair of VIP glamour.
And of course, there is always the possibility of bumping into the former president who may be spending more time in the city now that his youngest child, Baron, has started his studies at NYU.

Although Trump spends much of time at his Mar-a-Largo residence in Florida, it was Trump who developed Trump Tower, which was completed in 1983.
He has used it as a platform to kick off his presidential campaign in 2015.
Celebrities including actor Bruce Willis and Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo have also called it home at one time or another.
