3. Height & size: ~350 m, 80 floors.
4. Where: Sheikh Zayed Road, entrance to Downtown Dubai (near Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall).

Why it matters for Dubai’s skyline

Positioned at one of the city’s busiest corridors, the tower is pitched as a new Downtown-adjacent landmark combining hospitality and branded residences—categories that have surged with global investors post-pandemic. The developer emphasizes club-style exclusivity (the members-only “The Trump”) and view-driven amenities—including what’s described as the highest outdoor pool on earth—as differentiators in a crowded luxury market.

Location & design cues

Dar Global’s launch materials place the tower along Sheikh Zayed Road, directly at the gateway into Downtown, offering Burj Khalifa and sea views. The massing shows a slender stack with a framed crown, reading more like a vertical resort than a conventional mixed-use block. Expect private lounges, residents-only pool decks, and duplex sky-pool penthouses inspired by the Trump Tower penthouse in New York.

Status today (Q4 - 2025)

1. Announced/Launched: 2025 (press launch and marketing release).
2. Construction/Handover: Marketing and broker materials cite Q4 2031 as the target handover. As ever, timelines can shift with permitting, procurement, and market conditions.
3. Branding/operations: Licensed Trump brand; residences and hotel are delivered by Dar Global and partners.

A bit of history: Not the Palm Jumeirah project

If you remember a Trump tower on Palm Jumeirah—you’re right. That earlier Nakheel × Trump plan was suspended in 2008 during the financial crisis and ultimately scrapped; Trump later called cancelling it a “smart” move. Today’s Downtown-gateway tower is a new project with a new developer.
