A new Trump tower on the Gold Coast would be Australia\u2019s tallest building, the organisation run by US president Donald Trump\u2019s family has announced.<\/p>\n
The development \u2013 built in partnership with a local developer \u2013 would rise 91 storeys and about 335 metres above Surfers Paradise. It would have a 285-room hotel, about 270 residences and retail and dining space.<\/p>\n
A \u201cprivate\u201d beach club is also promised, in what would appear to follow a model floated by Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community,\u201d Eric Trump, son of the president, said in a statement.<\/p>\n Australian developer Altus Property Group announced it would partner with the Trump organisation to build the tower \u2013 officially called Trump International Hotel & Tower, Gold Coast \u2013 saying a deal had been signed at Mar-a-Lago on Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n On its website, the company confirmed the development will be built at 3 Trickett Street<\/a> at a cost of just under $1.5 billion, with completion planned before the end of this decade. Apartment prices would start at about $5 million.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not every day that a building comes along that changes a landscape, an economy and a culture,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The address had been home to the Iluka Resort, which was knocked down in 2013. A 285-metre tower with almost 700 units was approved for the site in 2015, but never built.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it was to go ahead, it would obviously be a great outcome for Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast,\u201d Tate\u2019s office previously said of the Trump project plans.<\/p>\n Q1, also on the Gold Coast, is presently the tallest building in Australia at 322.5 metres.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s grandmother and father founded the company in 1927 as E. Trump & Son. Trump joined it in 1968 and took over in 1971, renaming it The Trump Organisation soon after.<\/p>\n When elected as US president in 2016, he handed the company\u2019s leadership to his children.<\/p>\n Alongside its real estate ventures, The Trump Organisation has been involved in cryptocurrency and produced goods including vodka, fragrances, Bibles, jewellery, chocolate and mobile phones.<\/p>\n Start the day with a summary of the day\u2019s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
