Jeddah Set For $1bn Trump Plaza, Saudi Developer Dar Global Reveals

JEDDAH: Saudi developer Dar Global plans a $1 billion Trump Plaza Jeddah, its second collaboration with The Trump Organization, aiming to transform the city’s skyline with a mixed-use project. 

The development follows the launch of Trump Tower Jeddah in December and will feature premium residences, serviced apartments, Grade-A office space, and exclusive townhouses. 

Jeddah, a key commercial and cultural hub, is attracting strong interest from international developers in high-end residential, hospitality, and mixed-use projects. The development comes amid rapid growth in Saudi Arabia’s luxury real estate sector, driven by Vision 2030’s goals to diversify the economy and transform urban living.  

By 2024, the Kingdom had invested SR4.9 trillion ($1.3 trillion) in infrastructure, expanding residential, commercial, and hospitality capacities, with plans for over a million new residential units and seven million sq. meters of retail and office space. 

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, said: “Trump Plaza Jeddah is a pioneering concept in Saudi Arabia and one of the most ambitious developments Dar Global has undertaken to date.”  

He added: “By combining residential, serviced, and office components with a Central Park-inspired landscape, we are delivering a unique lifestyle destination that reflects both Manhattan’s vibrancy and Jeddah’s strategic role as a cultural and commercial hub.” 

Strategically located along King Abdulaziz Road in the heart of Jeddah, the project will transform the city’s skyline with a mixed-use community, according to a press release. 

“We are honored to expand our footprint in Saudi Arabia with the Trump Plaza Jeddah. This project embodies our vision of excellence by blending world-class hospitality, modern living, and dynamic business environments,” said Eric Trump, executive vice president of The Trump Organization. 

The development also comes as Trump Tower Jeddah — a 47-floor luxury development along the Red Sea coast — entered its pre-construction phase, as confirmed in May by Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump. 

The tower represents one of Saudi Arabia’s most high-profile real estate ventures, highlighting the scale of the Dar Global–Trump Organization partnership. 

Listed on the London Stock Exchange, Dar Global was founded as the international arm of Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development, a leading Saudi real estate developer.
