Tue, 24 Feb 2026 Trump Organization unveils plan for 'Australia's tallest building'

The tower will be built on Queensland's Gold Coast and be 335 metres high, taller than the Shard in London.

* The Trump Organization plans to build a 335m-tall skyscraper on Queensland's Gold Coast, which would be Australia's tallest building.
* The tower will have 285 hotel rooms and 272 luxury residential apartments, as well as space for high-end retailers and restaurants.
* The project is expected to cost at least $1bn and will bring the Trump brand to Australia for the first time.
* However, there is already a proposal for a twin-tower project on the same stretch of beach that would be 50m taller.
* The project has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest for President Trump due to his family's involvement in the business.
* The Trump Organization has faced controversy and criticism in the past over its business practices, including allegations of exaggerating profits at one of its hotels.
