The Tiger Real Estate Group from the UAE plans to construct a $200 million Trump Tower in Damascus, coinciding with President Trump’s recent lifting of sanctions on Syria, reportedly at the request of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This 45-floor skyscraper is intended to symbolize Syria’s recovery and attract foreign investment after years of isolation due to war, with CEO Walid Al-Zoubi emphasizing its significance as a message of reintegration into the global economy. While the Syrian government welcomes such investments, opinions among citizens are mixed, highlighting both optimism for job creation and skepticism about underlying political motivations.
