Trump Tower Jeddah

Trump Tower Jeddah is a 47-storey residential tower by Dar Global, designed by Gensler Architects and situated in Al-Shatee along Jeddah's Red Sea waterfront. Comprising just 13 residences, it is one of the more exclusive addresses to carry the Trump brand internationally, with prices running from approximately AED 3.8 million to AED 18.9 million and a scheduled completion at the close of 2029.

# The tower and its position on the Corniche

Gensler's design organises the 47 floors across a north wing and a south wing, a twin-wing configuration that distributes the building's mass and maximises sightlines toward the Red Sea. The architects are better known for corporate and civic commissions at scale, which gives the building a certain structural rigour rarely seen in residential towers of this type.

Al-Shatee fronts the Jeddah Corniche, the city's primary waterfront boulevard stretching along the coastline. The district combines public promenades, open parks and sea-facing restaurants with a concentration of luxury hotels, placing the tower within a neighbourhood that functions as a leisure and lifestyle corridor for the city's upper tier. King Fahd Fountain, one of Jeddah's most recognisable landmarks, sits nearby.

At 13 residences across a single building, the project operates at a scale closer to a private residence club than a conventional tower.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and specification

The collection spans one- to four-bedroom apartments alongside three- and four-bedroom penthouses. Floor areas run from 1,506 square feet to just under 3,932 square feet, giving even the entry-level units a footprint more associated with upper-floor apartments in comparable Gulf markets.

# Interiors and finish

Foyer and living areas are finished in marble, with gypsum ceilings and accent wood panelling or wallpaper in selected zones. Kitchens carry marble-look porcelain slab tiles, engineered stone countertops and a full Smeg appliance package: built-in refrigerator, oven, hob, hood and dishwasher. Bedrooms use marble-look porcelain flooring and built-in lacquered joinery throughout. Bathrooms are tiled in porcelain with engineered stone countertops and European sanitaryware.

Double-glazed windows feature across all units. Residences are delivered unfurnished, which is consistent with the expectation that buyers at this price point bring their own design intent.

# Amenities and the Trump Members Club

The building houses a private members club with a cigar lounge, a restaurant and bar with private dining rooms, and a bar lounge with a dedicated meeting room. A residential reception and scenic lift serve the club levels directly.

Wellness provision includes a spa, yoga zone and a 24-hour fitness centre. The pool complex covers a main swimming pool, a children's beach pool, a jacuzzi and cabanas. The combination of club infrastructure and pool facilities within a 13-unit building means the amenity-to-resident ratio is markedly high.

# Location: Red Sea frontage and city connectivity

Al-Shatee's position on the Corniche connects residents to the city's main coastal artery. King Abdulaziz Road and the broader road network provide access to central Jeddah's commercial districts. King Abdulaziz International Airport lies within reasonable distance, which matters for residents who use Jeddah as a base rather than a permanent home.

The Corniche itself offers cycling and walking paths, public beaches and a string of sea-facing cafés and restaurants. It is a functioning urban waterfront, not a resort enclave separated from the city.

# Who this project is built for, and where it sits in the market

Trump Tower Jeddah occupies a specific position: ultra-low unit count, a globally recognised brand, a Gensler design pedigree and a Red Sea waterfront address in Saudi Arabia's second city. For GCC buyers, it answers a domestic prestige address. For international buyers from Europe or Asia watching Saudi Arabia's reform-era investment story, it represents a landmarked entry into a market that remained largely closed to foreign ownership until recently.

The 2029 completion date places it within a long off-plan horizon, which suits buyers prioritising capital positioning over immediate occupancy. With a price ceiling below AED 19 million for the largest units, it also competes favourably on a per-square-foot basis against comparable branded residences in Dubai Marina or Downtown, even accounting for the different regulatory and lifestyle context. The scarcity of 13 units is the governing commercial logic: this is a project designed to be held, not traded.
