NBC News shared further:
The Trump Hotels website said the project marked the first time the brand was being used for a hotel in Australia.
“Set to become Australia’s tallest tower, this landmark address redefines beachfront sophistication with world-class amenities, iconic design, and uninterrupted Gold Coast views,” it said.
Altus CEO David Young said he had been pursuing the development for nearly 20 years, cold-calling Ivanka Trump in 2007 to pitch a Trump resort as “Australia’s finest tourism property.”
Young said the final agreement was signed with the Trump Organization at the Mar-a-Lago resort on Feb. 14. The company is now “deeply into a process of design, engineering, construction and fit-out.”
He said the building would be Australian-owned and Australian-built in line with the Trump company’s design requirements.
“I am so proud to announce what will soon be the tallest building in Australia — Trump International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast,” Eric Trump said.
“This marks our first venture into Australia — an extraordinary country in every respect — and I couldn’t be more excited to help shape its iconic skyline forever. More to come,” he added.

Longtime Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate is an enthusiastic supporter of the plan – and told Australian radio Tuesday that he’d recently had dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and found him to be “very, very likable.”
Tate is in the US for “G’Day USA,” an economic and diplomacy program that gives Australian and US dealmakers a chance to meet potential partners to build new relationships.
Of the planned Trump Tower, Tate said: “It’s quite incredible, actually, and it’s all about quality.”
For the council, anything that promises an injection of funds into the tourist strip is welcome as it rebuilds the industry after difficult years during the Covid pandemic
The proposed site is currently empty and has been since 2013, when concrete cancer forced the demolition of a much-loved hotel.
