His first and greatest success was actually the Grand Hyatt New York @ Grand Central Station in 1980.
That area of NYC had been completely derelict and run down at the time. Midtown East was NYC's red light district up until the 1950s when it moved across town to Times Square. It still is the area to this day where most of the asian brothels in the city are.
Anyway, the Grand Hyatt project completely revitalized that neighborhood.
Then Trump put his (rejected) bid in for the Javits Center project and was the project's biggest salesman to the public. His proposal for which streets to develop nearly exactly became the Hudson Yards project 30 years later...
