In a significant move blending luxury real estate with digital finance, the Trump Organisation has introduced a new high-end tower project in Dubai, in collaboration with renowned developer Dar Global. The announcement was made on Tuesday, April 29, 2025
The project—an 80-floor skyscraper situated in Dubai, the Gulf’s premier destination for tourism and iconic architecture—will include a luxury hotel, upscale residences, and two exclusive penthouse units. The development is estimated to carry a gross value of $1 billion and is scheduled for completion between 2030 and 2031.
Strategic International Expansion
Dar Global, affiliated with Saudi Arabia’s Dar Al Arkan, is spearheading the construction, marking another milestone in the Trump Organisation’s global real estate pursuits. Despite being largely U.S.-focused, the Trump Organisation has maintained a growing footprint in key Middle Eastern markets, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
This launch precedes a regional visit by US President Donald Trump, during which he is expected to visit the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar—nations where he previously fostered strong diplomatic and business relationships.
Comments from Eric Trump on Regional Relations
Speaking to Media, Eric Trump emphasized the importance of U.S. influence in the Gulf region. “A stable and strong America is essential to the prosperity of this region—something leaders here continuously highlight,” he noted. He also reaffirmed his father’s commitment to global stability, which he believes is fundamental for regions like Dubai to flourish.
Although Eric Trump plays a key role in the Trump Organisation, he clarified he will not be accompanying his father on the upcoming Gulf tour. “I’m not involved in any political visits. I keep my business activities separate from public policy,” he stated, while acknowledging his father’s long-standing relationships in the region.
Crypto Meets Real Estate
In a notable innovation, the Dubai tower will accept bitcoin payments for property purchases. Eric Trump confirmed this detail, describing it as a personal milestone that merges his enthusiasm for both real estate and digital currencies.
The building is also set to include the world’s tallest outdoor swimming pool, adding to its portfolio of luxury features. The Trump family has dabbled in the crypto space before, having introduced meme coins and invested in platforms like World Liberty Financial.
Wider Middle East Development Agenda
This project is one of several in the pipeline between Dar Global and the Trump Organisation. Future developments are planned in key Gulf cities including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Abu Dhabi. In Oman, similar collaborations are underway, reflecting a broader regional expansion strategy.
Furthermore, Dar Global is expected to announce a partnership with Qatari Diar to construct a Trump-branded golf course and luxury villas in Qatar. The move signals continued momentum in leveraging the Trump brand across luxury real estate ventures throughout the Middle East.
