Trump tower is about to become the most secure place in New York City.

The Fifth Avenue luxury skyscraper will be implementing 'heightened security measures' that will be carried out from July to coincide with the timing of the Republican National Convention, a source told Page Six.

Now, as well as resident's IDs being checked upon entry to the building, tenants will have to start 'filling out applications for anyone who wants to visit them.'

Trump Tower sits on Fifth Avenue and is home to The Donald's business as well as his three-level, 66th floor penthouse

The source added: 'If you want your mother to visit, she'll have to fill out an application' and said the block will essentially be 'shut down'.

Trump told Page Six: 'It's true. And the residents love it because it was already the best building in New York, and it will be even more secure.'

Trump Tower sits on Fifth Avenue and is home to The Donald's business as well as his three-level, 66th floor penthouse.

It boasts breathtaking views of Central Park and over-the-top decor - starting with the gold and diamond front door that greets visitors.

Inside is an almost literally dazzling scene: floor to ceiling marble, ceilings painted with scenes from the classical Greek myths - and some surprisingly homely touches.

The penthouse is currently home to Trump, his third wife Melania, and their young son Barron. He also has four elder children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany.

The building is also home to some of his campaigners, chief strategist Paul Manafort (left) who lives in space on the 14th floor and Campaign manager Corey Lewandowski (right) who is on the fifth floor

Trump's penthouse was the creation of designer Angelo Donghia - also referred to as 'the Saint Laurent of sofas'.

The renowned designer became a powerhouse in the 70s and 80s working with A-list clients such as Ralph Lauren, Barbara Walters, Mary Tyler Moore, Liza Minelli, Neil Simon and Diana Ross.

He was said to have created total environments - using the philosophy 'You should feel at all times that what is around you is attractive... and that you are attractive.'

When it came to creating the ultimate luxurious home for The Donald, he kept Louis XIV in mind while picking furniture and textiles.

Donald developed Trump Tower, which was completed in 1983. It is home to not only the billionaire businessman but also to retail stores and other businesses.

The building is also the residence of some of his campaigners, chief strategist Paul Manafort, who lives in space on the 14th floor and Campaign manager Corey Lewandowski who is on the fifth floor.
