A new Trump Tower has been unveiled in a city beloved by British tourists and expats – and the team behind it claim it will have a record-breaking feature. The Trump International Hotel & Tower in Dubai was announced by luxury property developer Dar Global and The Trump organisation on Wednesday, with plans for a 350m-high skyscraper in the Emirati metropolis.
The swanky development promises to provide luxury residences, suites, private lounges, and an outdoor infinity pool the developers say will be the highest in the world. It will be located along Sheikh Zayed road at the entrance of Downtown Dubai and offer views to Burj Khalifa and the Sea, Dar Global says on its website. It’s the fifth time the two firms have collaborated, with previous developments including Trump International Golf Club and Hotel in Aida Muscat, and Trump Tower Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
Dar Global says on its website that the building, which is inspired by the “legendary Trump” Tower Penthouse on New York’s 5th Avenue, will be home to “beathtaking duplexes” that “boast floor-to-ceiling windows that capture sweeping views of the Dubai skyline”.
“Every detail – from bespoke finishes to meticulously curated interiors – speaks to a lifestyle of unparalleled elegance and uncompromising luxury,” it adds.
Donald Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr are running the Trump Organisation during their father’s time in the White House.
Eric Trump, the company’s executive vice-president, says the development “reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence, luxury and innovation”.
Dar Global Global’s chief exectutive Ziad El Chaar previously told Reuters that Trump Tower Dubai is expected to have a gross development value of $1 billion (around £848.44billion).
It’s expected to be completed before 2031.
The unveiling of the plans comes weeks before Donald Trump’s upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai has become a haven for Britons attracted to the city’s sleek ultra modern architecture and climate, with hot summers and warm winters.
The Times reported in Feburary that at least 180,000 brits now live than in Dubai – more than the population of Oxford. On the other hand, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) said over 1.3 million British tourists visited Dubai in 2024 alone.
