Trump Hotel to become tallest building in Australia - Trump's 340-Metre Skyscraper to Redefine Australia's Gold Coast Skyline

A new Trump-branded skyscraper is set to become Australia's tallest building. The 91-storey luxury tower, announced in February 2026, will rise 340 metres above Surfers Paradise Beach on the Gold Coast. Developer Altus Property Group signed the deal with former U.S. President Donald Trump earlier that month, marking the project 2025's official launch.

The A$1.5 billion (€900 million) development will stand on a prime oceanfront site along Trickett Street, just metres from the Pacific. Once completed, it will surpass the Q1 Tower as the country's tallest structure. Plans include 270 high-end residences, an exclusive beach club, and luxury retail and dining spaces.

Altus CEO David Young finalised the agreement on February 14 at Trump's Florida residence. The project 2025 is currently in the design and engineering phase, with construction yet to begin. Funding will come entirely from private investors based in Singapore, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.

This will be the first Trump hotel in Australia, joining eight existing properties across the U.S., Ireland, and Scotland. Additional locations are already under development in Dubai and the Maldives.

The tower's 340-metre height will redefine the Gold Coast skyline. With construction fully backed by international investors, the project 2025 is expected to draw global attention. No details have been released on pre-sales or reservation numbers for the luxury apartments.
