The Trump Organization has announced plans to develop a massive skyscraper in the Republic of Georgia’s capital city, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Saturday.
The proposed 70-story structure, which will carry the name “Trump Tower Tbilisi,” is designed as a mixed-use development that would claim the title of tallest building in Georgia’s capital, according to representatives from the Trump Organization’s development partners.
Reuters was unable to independently confirm the details of the project, and the Trump Organization has not responded to requests for comment about the development.
This international expansion follows the company’s February announcement of plans to construct its first Australian tower, a project valued at approximately A$1.5 billion, or $1.07 billion in U.S. currency.
The planned Tbilisi development will feature upscale residential units, commercial retail spaces, and amenities similar to those found in luxury hotels, according to the Wall Street Journal report.
Architecture firm Gensler has been selected to design the tower, while financial backing comes from a group of investors including Georgian real estate company Archi Group and Biograpi Living, which operates as part of a larger Georgian business conglomerate.
Following President Trump’s inauguration in January, the Trump Organization announced that all of the president’s business holdings, investments, and commercial interests would be placed into a trust overseen by his children, with Trump stepping away from daily business operations and major decisions.
Despite this arrangement, Trump remains a beneficiary of the trust that controls the Trump Organization, meaning he will receive income from these international projects once his presidency concludes.
