A fully furnished condominium on the 86th floor of the Trump International Hotel & Towers that recently hit the market could break the long chill for high-end sales in the building.

The four-bedroom apartment is asking $8 million, Crain’s reported. A unit in the building hasn’t sold for anything close to that price since 2018, when one sold for $7.7 million another went for $9.4 million.

The tower was completed in 2009 and, at 98 stories high, is one of the world’s tallest residential buildings..

According to Crain’s, buyers have either been turned off by the building’s association with the polarizing former president or they’ve just been more interested in finding condos in other pricey buildings like the St. Regis and the Tribune Tower. In 2021, six condos in downtown Chicago sold for $7 million or more — four at the St. Regis and Tribune and the other two in buildings on Lake Shore Drive and in Lincoln Park.

The sellers of the 4,200-square-foot condo haven’t been identified. They live out of state and only used the condo “once or twice a year.”

They bought it as raw space for $3.7 million in August 2010 and commissioned Chicago interior designer John Robert Wiltgen to finish it. The home is decorated with mostly whites and creams with black and mirrored accents.

Trump Towers also has an unfinished penthouse for sale at the top of the building. That seller is asking $30 million.
