President Donald Trump and his son Eric Trump released the first renderings of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library on Monday, showcasing a towering glass skyscraper set to dominate downtown Miami's skyline.

The video, posted by Eric Trump on X and by the president on Truth Social, depicts a gleaming structure emblazoned with 'TRUMP' in gold lettering near the top, a red-white-and-blue spire, and a massive American flag draped down the center. The design dwarfs the adjacent Freedom Tower, a historic Art Deco landmark. Inside, features include a replica of Air Force One in the lobby, a golden escalator, replicas of the Oval Office and Rose Garden, a ballroom, and an amphitheater with a golden statue of Trump in his signature fist-pump pose.

Eric Trump described the project as a 'landmark on the water in Miami, Florida' that 'will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.' He added, 'Miami deserves this building. It will be a masterpiece, the likes of which have never been seen in Florida or really anywhere.' A White House spokesperson stated, 'The Trump Presidential Library will be one of the most magnificent buildings in the world and a living testament to the indelible impact President Trump has made on America and its people.'

The library will occupy a 2.6-acre site on Biscayne Boulevard at the former Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus parking lot, overlooking Biscayne Bay. Valued at more than $67 million, the land was transferred from the college to the state of Florida in late 2025 after legal challenges, then to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation for a nominal $10 in February 2026. The deed requires construction to begin within five years.

The Miami site was formally announced in September 2025 by the foundation, following scouting of Florida locations. Miami Dade College's board voted unanimously to gift the property to the state on December 2, 2025, resolving a lawsuit alleging violations of Florida's open meetings laws. The architecture firm Bermello Ajamil, based in Miami, is designing the project. No construction timeline has been set, but the foundation plans to raise nearly $1 billion over the next three years through private donations. It has already reported $50 million in contributions, bolstered by settlements from media companies totaling over $60 million.

Unlike traditional presidential libraries managed by the National Archives and Records Administration, Trump's will be privately funded and operated initially. A NARA website serves as a placeholder for his records. The Miami location holds symbolic value near Trump National Doral and in a Cuban-American community that supported his 2024 election win in Miami-Dade County.
