Trump Tower Dubai Sales Are An Early Hit - Investors Eye '30% Resale Potential'
'All available market indicators suggest a robust response,' said Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties. 'The demand signals a healthy absorption early into the sales launch of Trump Tower Dubai. What it also shows in an alignment with demand for branded, high-end real estate in Dubai.'
'The resale potential gain for Trump Tower units is forecasted at approximately 30%.'
That's exactly what a number of investors would be thinking about, with the Trump Tower Dubai looking at completion in 2031.
Market sources were saying that President Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE over the week was the 'best promotion' the two Trump Towers in Jeddah and Dubai could have got. Multi-billion dollar deals in technology, defense and aircraft acquisitions flowed, with the visit generating unprecedented levels of global attention.

'More Trump-branded real estate in the Gulf states will happen in no time,' said an industry source. 'Only question is how soon an Abu Dhabi launch will happen.'

What the market knows for sure is that there will be two projects launched back to back in Riyadh, with Dar Global as the developer. The company is also responsible for the Trump Tower Dubai.
'The 80-storey tower introduces one of the highest outdoor pools globally,' said Syed. 'Residents have exclusive access to the Trump Membership Club. While memberships are not tied directly to unit ownership, it unlocks benefits across Trump International Towers worldwide.
'The Trump Tower Dubai is situated at the entrance of Downtown, offering a rare balance of visibility, access, and proximity to the city's most iconic landmarks. Its location supports both residential appeal and long-term asset value.'
Starting prices at Trump Tower are Dh3.8 million for two-bedroom residences and Dh6.3 million for three-bedroom layouts. This 'reflects its positioning within Downtown's upper-tier market', according to Syed.
'The most exclusive two-bedroom units are priced at Dh7.6 million, while select three-bedroom residences reach Dh8.7 million. These reflect preferred layouts, elevations, and view lines – marking the upper range of each category.'
In May 2024, Omniyat Properties confirmed the same of a penthouse at The Lana Residences, Dorchester Collection in Downtown Dubai for Dh139 million. This was the most expensive property to be sold with Burj Khalifa district.
'The Downtown Dubai continues to command some of the highest-value residential transactions in the region,' said Syed. 'Notable sales include a penthouse at Kempinski, The Boulevard sold for Dh80 million, and a residence at Il Primo, which transacted for Dh66.5 million. These sales underline sustained demand for ultra-prime products in the heart of the city.'
The SZR is buzzing with the sounds of new projects getting started, most notably the 725 meter tall and 131 storey Burj Azizi.

And recently, there was the launch of the 'Sobha Central', a six-tower cluster on SZR. It will have a whole lot of apartments as well as '250,000 square feet of lush green parks, 175,000 square feet of leasable office spaces and 160,000 square feet of retail spaces including an in-built mall', is how the developer Sobha puts it.
'Recent industry reports highlight (Dubai) Marina, JLT and surrounding corridors among Dubai's most resilient sub-markets, recording rental yields of 7–10% and consistent capital appreciation,' said Ravi Menon, Chairman of Sobha.
'Sobha Central caters to the evolving aspirations of homeowners and investors seeking long-term investment value in a vibrant, central location.'
The Sheikh Zayed Road is offering up quite a lot of that…

Trump's Mega-Bill: Key Claims Under Scrutiny as Critics Raise Economic Concerns
President Donald Trump's flagship legislative package—dubbed the 'big beautiful bill'—has ignited intense debate across party lines, with Democrats and even some Republicans raising concerns over its financial implications, tax impacts, and proposed welfare changes. The bill is being positioned by the White House as a boost to economic growth and a safeguard against tax hikes, but independent experts warn it could significantly widen the national deficit, cut healthcare coverage, and shift tax benefits toward the wealthy. 📉 Will the Bill Cut or Expand the Deficit? While the administration claims the legislation will reduce the national deficit by over $2 trillion, multiple independent analyses project the opposite. Estimates from official sources forecast the bill could add over $3.3 trillion to the deficit in the next decade. The projected rise is primarily attributed to the bill's deep tax cuts, which are expected to outweigh proposed spending cuts. Analysts suggest that although there may be a short-term economic uplift, long-term effects could include higher national debt, rising interest rates, and reduced investment in critical sectors. 🏥 Impact on Medicaid: Deep Cuts Expected Despite assurances from President Trump that Medicaid 'is left the same,' independent health policy groups estimate up to $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over the next ten years. These changes would likely affect millions of low-income Americans who depend on Medicaid for healthcare services. Official projections indicate nearly 12 million people could lose coverage by 2034, though the administration argues some of these would be individuals without legal status. 💰 Taxes: Who Gains and Who Pays More? A major talking point for the administration has been the claim that the bill prevents a 68% tax hike. However, experts note that the actual average increase, if previous tax cuts expire without renewal, would be closer to 7.5%. The legislation aims to extend and expand tax cuts first introduced in 2017. Yet, studies show the majority of benefits would go to higher-income earners, with over 60% of the tax relief going to individuals earning above $217,000 annually. Critics argue the bill promotes an upward redistribution of wealth at the expense of lower-income Americans.

Iran Reportedly Made Plans To Litter Strait Of Hormuz
The U.S. launched 'Operation Midnight Hammer' on June 22, deploying stealth bombers to strike Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs. President Trump declared the sites were 'totally obliterated.' In retaliation, Iran's parliament voted to authorize the closure of the Strait of Hormuz—a critical maritime chokepoint through which 20% of the world's oil flows—sparking renewed anxiety among global energy traders over the threat to vital tanker lanes. As readers understand, any move by Iran to close the critical waterway would instantly disrupt nearly one-fifth of the world's oil shipments and trigger substantial—and potentially cascading—economic harm (energy inflation) worldwide. However, those threats ultimately fell short in the days that followed, and Brent crude futures have since returned to the $67-a-barrel level, effectively roundtripping the entire move. Iran has several military and asymmetric tools at its disposal to disrupt or close the Strait of Hormuz, including: Naval Mines Fast Attack Boats & Swarm Tactics Anti-Ship Missiles Submarine Operations Seizing or Boarding Tankers Shore-Based Artillery or Rocket Attacks or Drone Strikes GPS Scrambling Cyberattacks on Port Infrastructure Coordinated Proxy Attacks In the lead-up to and during Operation Midnight Hammer, widespread GPS interference was reported across the Strait of Hormuz. Multiple sources we highlighted indicated a noticeable slowdown in tanker traffic, as navigation systems were degraded and insurance premiums for vessels surged. A new Reuters report, citing anonymous U.S. officials, reveals that intelligence indicated Tehran was preparing to blockade the Strait of Hormuz using one of its most effective and low-cost tactics: littering the narrow shipping corridor with naval mines. More color on the report: The previously unreported preparations, which were detected by U.S. intelligence, occurred some time after Israel launched its initial missile attack against Iran on June 13, said the officials, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence matters. The loading of the mines – which have not been deployed in the strait – suggests that Tehran may have been serious about closing one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, a move that would have escalated an already-spiraling conflict and severely hobbled global commerce. Reuters was not able to determine precisely when during the Israel-Iran air war Tehran loaded the mines, which – if deployed – would have effectively stopped ships from moving through the key thoroughfare. It is also unclear if the mines have since been unloaded. The sources did not disclose how the United States determined that the mines had been put on the Iranian vessels, but such intelligence is typically gathered through satellite imagery, clandestine human sources or a combination of both methods. . . . The two officials said the U.S. government has not ruled out the possibility that loading the mines was a ruse. The Iranians could have prepared the mines to convince Washington that Tehran was serious about closing the strait, but without intending to do so, the officials said. Israel's 12-day war with Iran and Tehran's ultimately hollow threat (so far) to close the Strait of Hormuz appear to have had limited lasting impact on global oil markets, reflected in Brent crude trading around $68 on Wednesday afternoon.

US Officials Slam Iran's Suspending Cooperation
US State Department officials have reportedly said that Iran's suspension of cooperation with IAEA is 'unacceptable', adding that Iran must cooperate fully without further delay. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric also chimed in, saying that Iran's suspension of its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is 'obviously concerning' 'We've seen the official decision, which is obviously concerning. I think the Secretary-General has been very consistent in his call for Iran to cooperate with the IAEA, and, frankly, for all countries to work closely with the IAEA on nuclear issues,' he told reporters. In an official move which could bring Tehran into further conflict with the United States, Israel, and the West, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has signed a law which breaks all cooperation with the the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), following Israeli and US large-scale strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last month. 'Masoud Pezeshkian promulgated the law suspending cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency,' Iranian state TV confirmed announcement comes on the heels of Iranian parliament's initial decision last week to halt cooperation with the nuclear watchdog and monitoring body, a move triggered by Israel's surprise attack on the Islamic Republic which began on June 13. Nearly two weeks of war followed, capped by the Trump-ordered B-2 bomber raids and huge attacks on the three key nuclear facilities of Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Under the new parliamentary resolution, IAEA inspectors will need approval from Iran's Supreme National Security Council before any access to nuclear facilities is given. The IAEA merely said in response that it was 'aware of these reports' of Tehran suspending cooperation and is waiting for formal communication from Iranian leaders. Earlier this week, Iran's foreign minister declared that IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, whom Iranian officials have fiercely criticized for not condemning the Israeli and US attacks, as Persona non grata . There was also this recent alarming diplomatic fiasco centered on Grossi and threats by an Iranian newspaper: Iran's ambassador to the United Nations said Sunday that Tehran poses no threat to the head of the UN nuclear watchdog nor its inspectors, after an Iranian newspaper claimed that Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi was an Israeli spy and called for him to be executed. Iran's ultra-conservative Kayhan newspaper recently alleged that unspecified documents showed Grossi to be an Israeli spy. 'It should therefore be officially announced that he will be tried and executed upon arrival in Iran for spying for the Mossad and participating in the murder of the oppressed people of our country,' the newspaper said. 'No, there is not any threat' against the inspectors or the director general, Iran's Ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani said in an interview with US broadcaster CBS. The ambassador said inspectors in Iran were 'in safe conditions.' Just the day prior to Israel's surprise assault on Iran using dozens of warplanes, Tehran officials were outraged with a rejected a June 12 resolution from the IAEA board that accused Iran of failing to meet its nuclear obligations. Iranian authorities then alleged this resolution served as one of the 'pretexts' used to justify the Israeli and later US attacks on its nuclear facilities, which Tehran has maintained is solely for nuclear energy purposes.
