Trump Plaza Jeddah: the $1bn Dar Global and Trump district inside Amaya, now launched.

Trump Plaza Jeddah is, in brief:

• A Trump-branded mixed-use district with multiple components rather than a single residential tower.
• Located on King Abdulaziz Road in central Jeddah, opposite Red Sea Mall, occupying a roughly 28,000 sqm corner of the wider Amaya masterplan, organised as a four-district "Manhattan" plan.
• Launched and selling off-plan. Announced September 2025, launched January 2026. No official completion date has been published by Dar Global or Trump.com; one third-party portal lists Q4 2028, so confirm the handover date in the sale agreement.
• Residential-led, across three named tiers: Trump Executive Residences (1-3 bed, fully furnished), Trump Park Residences (2-4 bed) and Trump Townhouses (4 bed), alongside Grade-A and home offices.

The development is presented as a multi-asset scheme combining live, work and socialise uses on one masterplanned site, blending New York’s urban energy with Miami’s open-air vibrancy. It is organised around a continuous Central Park-style green spine that runs through the four districts and acts as the social anchor of the address.

Trump Plaza Jeddah is a mixed-use district valued at over USD 1 billion, equivalent to SAR 3.75 billion (per Argaam). On 29 September 2025, Dar Global announced the project along King Abdulaziz Road; it was then formally launched in January 2026. Dar Global called it one of its most ambitious developments, and Eric Trump, executive vice president of The Trump Organization, framed it as blending hospitality, modern living and dynamic business environments.

On a published third-party listing, a typical off-plan payment plan reads:

• 20% on reservation / down payment.
• 70% in 10% instalments during construction.
• 10% on completion.

Starting prices have been quoted around GBP 425,000 on the same listing, with cash, card, bank transfer and cryptocurrency accepted. Treat the schedule and price as indicative and confirm them in the sale agreement. Buyers also benefit from the Kingdom’s tax position: no personal capital gains tax, no wealth tax and no inheritance tax for individuals, with the Saudi riyal pegged to the US dollar, which steadies returns for overseas buyers.

Foreign ownership and residency, with the 2026 nuance. Saudi Arabia’s Non-Saudi Real Estate Ownership Law was published on 25 July 2025 and took effect on 22 January 2026. The Cabinet approved the geographical zones and implementing regulations on 23 June 2026, and REGA now publishes Jeddah’s mapped zones through Saudi Properties. Crucially, this is not a blanket city-wide opening: a Trump Plaza unit must be checked against the live map and its title conditions rather than assumed eligible from its Corniche location. Makkah and Madinah remain specially restricted. Separately, the Real-Estate-Owner Premium Residency requires a residential, fully constructed property worth SAR 4 million or more, mortgage-free. An off-plan reservation at Trump Plaza does not by itself confer residency eligibility; that pathway opens only once the property is completed and handed over. Confirm zoning and any residency route with a qualified adviser before you reserve.

Trump Plaza Jeddah is positioned on King Abdulaziz Road, opposite Red Sea Mall, inside Amaya, a masterplan spanning roughly 1,000,000 square metres in central Jeddah. King Abdulaziz Road is one of Jeddah’s main north-south arteries and a common address line for waterfront-facing districts and commercial towers. Al-Amal Avenue serves as the development’s central axis, connecting the historic Old City of Jeddah to King Abdulaziz Road, and a planned tunnel beneath King Abdulaziz Road is set to provide direct access to the Al Shatea waterfront area.

Selected nearby drive-times include:

• 02 min: Red Sea Mall and the British International School of Jeddah.
• 08 min: Jeddah Corniche and the Formula 1 circuit.
• 10 min: American International School of Jeddah.
• 12 min: Four Seasons Hotel, under development.
• 15 min: Raffles Hotel Jeddah.
• 20 min: King Abdulaziz International Airport.
• 22 min: International Medical Center (IMC).
• 25 min: Al Balad, Jeddah.
• 28 min: Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital.

Useful map anchors are Red Sea Mall (a fixed, well-marked point on King Abdulaziz Road, directly opposite the site), the Jeddah Corniche waterfront promenade, the Al Rahma Mosque (the Floating Mosque, in Al Shati) and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. From the corridor you reach the Red Sea by moving west toward Corniche Road; the Obhur area to the north is the typical hub for marinas and boating. King Abdulaziz International Airport gives the city a strong domestic and international connectivity profile.

Location is not only a lifestyle talking point in Jeddah’s high-end segment. Central positioning can broaden the buyer pool beyond pure second-home demand, because mixed-use schemes tend to attract professionals seeking commutable, amenity-rich living, corporate tenants looking for headline office space, and hospitality-style customers drawn to serviced living and on-site leisure. That blend can support year-round activity, which matters for resale liquidity and rental stability in a market where some premium districts are still maturing.

The residences. The launch revealed three named product lines. Trump Executive Residences are fully furnished 1, 2 and 3-bedroom homes delivered with hotel-finished interiors and curated furniture packages, designed for people who expect high standards and direct access to the offices, shopping and dining within the district, with an optional operator management model for owners who want to let. Trump Park Residences are larger 2 to 4-bedroom homes set against the green spine. Trump Townhouses are 4-bedroom units at the top of the residential mix.

Grade-A offices. A dedicated commercial component positioned for corporate headquarters and next-generation businesses, with floor-to-ceiling glass and home-office formats, described as a corporate statement built with presence and direct connection into the wider district.

Shopping and dining. Retail and food and beverage on terraces with skyline views, designed for sustained foot traffic. Signature concepts include Trump Grill (all-day dining with indoor-outdoor presence), an artisan bakery (fresh pastries and grab-and-go), Trump Daily (organic groceries and specialty items) and a fitness pro shop (performance apparel, supplements and training gear).

The green spine. A continuous Central Park-style landscaped spine runs through Trump Plaza, linking the four districts and giving residents and office workers a green retreat and a recognisable landmark within the wider urban fabric.

The Vitality Club is a members-first wellness and performance destination spanning roughly 4,000 square metres across two levels, positioned as a private club ecosystem rather than a standard amenity floor. The ground floor houses arrival services, fine dining and golf simulator rooms; the upper floor is dedicated to casual socialising and personal wellbeing.

Performance and recovery features include:

• A performance space with gym, cycling, pilates, yoga, spin, reformer and specialty classes.
• Personal coaching with one-to-one guidance.
• Separate male and female spa facilities with tranquility lounges, a barber shop, manicure and salon services.
• Sports medicine and physiotherapy.
• Recovery suites (separate male and female) with sauna, hamam, salt room, experience showers and steam.
• Three temperature-controlled swimming pools, each set to a different temperature.

Social and leisure features include:

• Two golf simulator rooms featuring Trump Golf courses from the global portfolio.
• A pro shop with equipment and rental services.
• A fine dining restaurant, a coffee lounge and a juice bar.
• A cigar and library lounge.
• Members lounges and meeting rooms.
• Day care facilities for children.
• Lockers and changing rooms.

Trump Plaza Jeddah occupies a roughly 28,000 square metre corner of Amaya, a masterplanned, mixed-use community spanning roughly 1,000,000 square metres and positioned as one of the last major development opportunities in central Jeddah. Dar Global introduced Amaya at its Riyadh launch, framing it as a centrally located opportunity in a city where well-connected land is increasingly scarce, with planning shifting toward integrated districts that combine living, services and everyday amenities.

Planned community elements include:

• Schools and kindergartens.
• Mosques.
• Medical centres.
• Children’s and adult parks.
• A broader mix of residential and commercial plots.

Amaya is presented as a structured, plot-based plan rather than a single-building concept, which matters for how it unfolds: plot-based masterplans can be phased, traded, developed by multiple delivery partners and tuned to market demand over time. The plan shows a central spine along Al-Amal Avenue, an upcoming tunnel under King Abdulaziz Road providing direct access toward Al Shatea, substantial commercial frontage along the primary internal boulevard, and green bands and park blocks distributed through the site. Trump Plaza sits within the wider masterplan alongside designated residential, schools, mosques and medical-centre land uses, directly opposite Red Sea Mall and a short drive from the Jeddah Corniche circuit.

The development is publicly presented as a collaboration between Dar Global as developer and The Trump Organization as brand partner. Dar Global is the first Saudi-born company listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market, and describes itself as the international arm of Saudi developer Dar Al Arkan, one of the best-known private real estate developers in the Kingdom. It develops across global cities, with a presence in 14 international cities across 9 countries, including the UK, Spain, Greece, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Bosnia.

Dar Global has partnered with a roster of brands including The Trump Organization, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Fendi, ELIE SAAB, Marriott Residences, Missoni, Mouawad, Pagani and W Hotels. At its November 2025 London Stock Exchange opening-bell event, the company put its development pipeline at around USD 19 billion, up sharply on earlier snapshots and driven by the Saudi expansion. Its CEO, Ziad El Chaar, has pointed to shifting tastes in Jeddah, from basic homes to high-rises with retail, spas and green spaces.

The Trump Organization traces its modern form to 1971, when Donald J. Trump took over and renamed the family business in New York City; the underlying firm dates to 1923 as Elizabeth Trump & Son. Landmark properties include Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, developments in New York and Chicago, Trump Turnberry in Scotland and Trump Doonbeg in Ireland. In most modern Trump-branded developments outside the United States, the Trump Organization acts as a brand licensor rather than the entity financing and building the project: the developer owns the land, secures approvals, funds construction and runs sales, while the Trump side provides branding, design standards and marketing support.

Dar Global states: "Trump Plaza Jeddah is not owned, developed or sold by The Trump Organization or any of their current or former principals or affiliates. DAR Global Holdings For Real Estate for KSA, the owner and developer of the property, uses the 'Trump' name and mark under license, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms." For buyers, the key due-diligence question is not only who is involved, but who is responsible for delivery, warranties, handover standards and long-term management; those answers typically sit with the developer and appointed operators, and should be clarified in the project documentation received during the sales process.

Trump Plaza is now the third strategic Trump-branded collaboration in the Kingdom. The first was Trump Tower Jeddah, which launched sales in December 2024; the intervening second is the Trump International Golf Club and Trump Mansions at Rayana, in Wadi Safar near Riyadh, launched alongside Trump Plaza in January 2026. The 47-storey Trump Tower on the Jeddah Corniche offers 1 to 4-bedroom apartments, penthouses and a private Trump Club, all with Red Sea views. By November 2025, Dar Global had handed a $531 million main-works contract to Arabian Construction Company after completing foundations. The Tower’s quick uptake validated the brand’s pull and framed the wider Saudi push as a follow-on from proven demand.

Dar Global and The Trump Organization confirmed, live at the launch on 12 January 2026, that they will accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment for select units across their newly launched Saudi developments, including Trump Plaza, Rayana and Amaya. The move positions them among the first major developers to formally integrate cryptocurrency into high-end real estate sales in the Kingdom, and builds on Dar Global’s broader work on blockchain-enabled capital structures and tokenised real-estate models.

Executives at the launch said crypto acceptance is designed to:

• Streamline international transactions.
• Reduce friction for cross-border buyers.
• Appeal to a new generation of global buyers.
• Future-proof sales infrastructure in line with evolving financial systems.

For Trump Plaza specifically, payment can be made by cash, card, bank transfer or cryptocurrency, opening the address to international, tech-native and crypto-wealth buyers, particularly from Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Dar Global hosted a launch event in Riyadh on 11 January 2026 to unveil its latest Trump-branded developments, with CEO Ziad El Chaar putting the combined value of the two Saudi launches at around $10 billion: the Amaya / Trump Plaza scheme in Jeddah, and the Rayana enclave of Trump Mansions, golf and hotel within Wadi Safar, Diriyah, near Riyadh. The Rayana mansions, 6 to 8-bedroom homes, start at around SAR 25 million (about USD 6.66 million) and centre on a members-only Trump International Golf Club of around 2.6 million square metres. The Jeddah projects were fully released on 12 January 2026.

Trump Plaza is launching as Saudi Arabia expands its global real estate appeal through large-scale urban development, tourism and infrastructure. The headline policy shift is the Non-Saudi Real Estate Ownership Law, in force since 22 January 2026, followed by Cabinet approval of the geographical zones on 23 June 2026. REGA now publishes the mapped zones through Saudi Properties, making eligibility a property-level check rather than an expectation based on the Al Shati or Corniche label. Combined with the dollar-pegged riyal and no personal capital gains, wealth or inheritance tax for individuals, that gives international buyers an early-entry case before broader institutional capital arrives.

The Kingdom is also preparing to host the FIFA World Cup 2034, Expo 2030, the Asian Games and Formula 1 (the Jeddah Corniche Circuit is already operational), all under Vision 2030. The depth of investor demand was on show at Cityscape Global 2025 in Riyadh, which closed with around $63.2 billion (SAR 237 billion) in deals. In Jeddah specifically, the Vision 2030-listed Jeddah Central Project, a waterfront regeneration valued at over $20 billion (SAR 75 billion) across 5.7 million square metres, is the credible city-scale anchor near the corridor. Trump Plaza is framed as early-entry, brand-led inventory in a market moving rapidly toward international demand for prime, branded, mixed-use destinations.

Completion date and payment structure. No official completion date has been published by Dar Global or Trump.com; one third-party portal lists Q4 2028. A typical published off-plan plan reads 20% down, 70% in 10% instalments during construction and 10% on completion. Ask for a clear schedule tied to construction progress, confirm the handover date in writing, and understand what happens if timelines shift.

Branded residence premiums. Trump branding is marketed as a value driver. Whether a price premium holds at resale depends on delivery quality, location performance and how the broader Jeddah pipeline evolves between now and handover.

Furniture and specifications. Furniture provided in a unit will be strictly as per the specifications in the Sale Agreement and its appendixes, although the residences are marketed as fully furnished and Trump branded. Any furniture, accessories or decorative items shown in marketing materials are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect the actual items supplied. Verify exact specifications in writing.

Residency, not automatic. The SAR 4 million Premium Residency route requires a residential, fully constructed property, so an off-plan reservation does not qualify until the unit is completed and handed over. Confirm both the in-zone status of the address and any residency pathway with a qualified adviser before relying on it.

Unit mix and exit strategy. If a development releases many similar units at once, resale competition can be intense at handover. If you are buying for investment, plan your exit window early and compare unit scarcity, views, layout efficiency and floor level.

Service charges and Vitality Club access. The Vitality Club offering will likely carry membership fees or service-charge components. Clarify whether any level of club access is included with residence ownership, or whether all access requires separate membership.

Sales structure and brand scope. In off-plan markets, escrow terms, handover conditions and refund-policy details matter more than renderings. Watch for permitting and masterplan clarity, delivery timelines and contractor disclosures, and whether the Trump involvement is strictly licensing or includes management elements, which can influence long-term asset operations.

• Lifestyle buyers who want a high-profile address with concierge-style services and on-site amenities, particularly those who value the integrated live-work-leisure model and the Vitality Club.
• International investors seeking exposure to Saudi Arabia’s newly opened zoned freehold market with favourable tax treatment for individuals (no capital gains, wealth or inheritance tax), a globally recognisable brand and central Jeddah positioning.
• Portfolio investors who prefer mixed-use districts that can draw multiple demand segments (residential, corporate office, hospitality-style serviced living) and believe in the early-entry thesis before broader institutional capital arrives.
• Business-focused buyers who prioritise proximity to Grade-A office space, international schools (2 to 10 minutes) and the airport (about 20 minutes).
• Wellness-oriented residents attracted to the Vitality Club’s golf simulators, performance training, spa, recovery suites and members-only positioning.

It may be less suitable for:

• Buyers who require immediate occupancy, since this is off-plan construction.
• Those who dislike construction risk or prefer established, fully operational neighbourhoods with proven resale comparables.
• Investors uncomfortable with licensing-based brand arrangements where the brand name may be subject to termination or revocation.
• Buyers relying on an off-plan purchase to secure residency, which requires a completed property and a SAR 4m+ value.
• Those prioritising unfurnished units with full customisation freedom, since the Trump Executive Residences are marketed as fully furnished with specified packages.

Trump Plaza Jeddah sits at the intersection of brand, masterplan and a fast-opening market. For a fuller view of the Kingdom’s investment case, see the Saudi Arabia market hub, and to track live inventory across the city, browse developments in Jeddah. Now that the project has launched, official phasing and verified specifications should sharpen over time; the discipline for an off-plan buyer stays the same, which is to confirm the completion date, read the schedule, the protections and the operator arrangements, and check the zoning and residency route before reserving.
