Trump Organization Announces Multi-Billion-Dollar Saudi Real Estate Expansion After Crown Prince’s US Visit
Luxury hotel, golf course and mansion projects worth up to $10 billion unveiled in Saudi Arabia amidst deepening ties between the White House and Riyadh
Less than two months after hosting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, the Trump Organization unveiled plans for a major expansion of its real estate footprint in Saudi Arabia, with projects valued at up to $10 billion.
The developments, announced by Saudi real estate developer Dar Global in partnership with the Trump Organization, include a $7 billion Trump-branded hotel and championship golf course in the Diriyah cultural heritage area near Riyadh and a $3 billion mixed-use Trump Plaza project in Jeddah.
The Diriyah site will also feature ultra-luxury residences, marketed in some promotional material as “Trump Mansions” described as exclusive homes “where winners reside.” :
The announcement comes amid Saudi Arabia’s broader Vision 2030 programme to diversify its economy beyond oil and attract international investment, and follows high-level talks between President Donald Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in November 2025 that produced a suite of agreements spanning defence, technology and economic cooperation.
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said the expansions will set new standards for luxury and excellence in the region and reflect strong demand among international buyers for premium properties.
The projects are expected to be completed over the next four to five years, with Diriyah’s opening phases scheduled first.
President Trump has maintained that he is not personally involved in his family’s business dealings while in office, asserting that he has “nothing to do with the family business.” Nonetheless, the timing of the Saudi developments has intensified discussions about the overlap between his administration’s foreign policy and his family’s commercial interests in the Gulf.
Saudi Arabia’s property liberalisation, which for the first time allows foreigners to own property in designated areas of the country, is also seen as complementary to the Trump Organization’s ambitions and a catalyst for further international real estate investment.
