Trump set to build Australia’s tallest building, 91-storey, luxury hotels and residential towers, here’s everything you need to know about the mega project

In a landmark expansion into the Australian property market, the family of US President Donald Trump has secured approval to develop a 91-storey Trump-branded hotel and residential tower in Surfers Paradise, a project set to redefine the Gold Coast skyline and become the tallest building in the country.

Rising to 335 metres, Australia’s Trump Tower is set to become the tallest building in the country. The development will also feature 3,400 square metres of commercial, retail and dining space and will rise on the site of the previously approved but unrealised 89-storey Spirit tower project.

According to News.com. au, Eric Trump, executive vice-president of The Trump Organization and son of US President Donald Trump, said the development will include a 285-room hotel, 272 luxury residences, and a private beach club.


He said, “Trump International Hotel Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world.”

He continued, “This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community.”

The agreement to proceed with the tower was sealed when Altus Property Group CEO David Young met with Mr Trump at the family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

“Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success.”

The Trump Tower concept revolves around ultra-luxury, high-rise developments that combine premium hotels and upscale private residences under the Trump brand.

The projects are developed, licensed, or managed through The Trump Organization, the family business of US President Donald Trump, with the Trump name serving as a central branding and marketing feature.
