Overview
- Altus Property Group says it signed a branding deal with the Trump Organization on February 14 at Mar-a-Lago, with the project listed as “coming soon” on Trump Hotels’ website.
- The proposed Trump International Hotel & Tower in Surfers Paradise is pitched at about 335–340 meters and 91 floors with an estimated A$1.5 billion budget.
- Plans call for a luxury hotel and roughly 270 residences plus a private beach club, retail and dining, with reported apartment prices starting around A$5 million.
- Reporting diverges on funding and builder roles, with claims of international private investors contrasted by local accounts that it will be financed and built in Australia and that the Trump family is not the developer.
- The Gold Coast mayor’s office reports no formal building application to date, though the developer has cited a potential 2026 start and a completion target later in the decade.
