Trump Parc Stamford is a 34-story condominium property named after Donald Trump and located at 1 Broad Street in Stamford, Connecticut. Real estate developers Thomas Rich and Louis R. Cappelli began planning the project as Park Tower in February 2006; it was renamed after Trump joined the project later that year. The project was initially rejected by the city, as it was considered too large for its 0.5-acre (0.20 ha) site.
A revised smaller version of the project was approved in November 2006, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held in May 2007. Construction was delayed twice in 2008, after several construction incidents. Trump Parc opened in September 2009 as the tallest building in Stamford.
In 2015, during Trump's presidential campaign, Muslim groups in Stamford launched an unsuccessful attempt to have his name removed from the building after he proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, a response to recent terrorist attacks conducted by people of the religion.
In February 2006, developers Thomas Rich and Louis R. Cappelli proposed Park Tower, a 37-story condominium tower that would stand 425 feet. The glass structure, designed by Costas Kondylis and Lessard Design Inc., would be built on 0.5 acres (0.20 ha) at the southeast corner of Broad Street and Washington Boulevard in Stamford, Connecticut. Park Tower, if built, would become the tallest building in Stamford, surpassing the city's Landmark Tower; it would also be the fifth tallest building in Connecticut.
Rich, the president of Stamford's F. D. Rich Company, owned the half-acre property as part of a 2.7-acre (1.1 ha) parcel that was jointly owned by an adjacent Target store, which opened in October 2004. Since 1980, approximately 15 earlier projects had been proposed for the 2.7-acre property, including a hotel. Prior to the Target purchase, the property had been owned entirely by 33 Broad Street Associates, a partnership of Rich and Robert Kahn. After the Target store opened, Rich and Kahn began planning for development on the half-acre lot. Although the half-acre site was currently landscaped with trees and park benches, Rich stated that he had always intended to develop the property.
