- Doral city approvals: In January 2025, the Doral City Council unanimously approved Trump Organization plans for a major condo project at Trump National Doral, transforming part of the 600-acre resort into a multi-tower development. This approval followed earlier votes and marked a significant local milestone for the project.[1][2][3][4]
- Project scope and cost: The approved plan envisions a substantial residential component (hundreds to up to around 1,500 condos reported in different outlets) alongside commercial space, with a total project cost cited around $3 billion in early coverage.[2][3]
- Timing and oversight: The approvals were granted in the context of phased development, with subsequent steps including site-plan approvals, zoning changes, and development agreements. The involvement of Eric Trump and other Trump Organization representatives was noted at council meetings.[4][1]
Illustration of the development trajectory:
- Early concept (2022–2023): Condo towers and mixed-use components proposed for the Trump National Doral site.
- Local approvals (2024–2025): City Council votes culminating in final or near-final approvals for phased condo towers and related facilities.
- Ongoing regulatory steps: FAA/aviation height considerations and additional permits as development progresses.
