Trump Tower security may take over two floors -- and cost millions

But in the case of Trump Tower, taxpayers would be paying the president-elect’s own corporation to lease the two floors, aside from the cost of agents, staff and equipment and barriers that are normal in such cases.

The lease deal alone could cost more than $3 million a year, based on prevailing rates in the building.

The Post reported earlier this week that the 17th floor at Trump Tower is available. The floor is currently being marketed in three, 3,000- to 5,000-square-foot parcels at up to $105 per square foot.

At that rate the federal government would be paying $1.5 million a year for just one floor and double that for two levels of Trump Tower offices.
