Plan for $1.5bn Trump Tower on Gold Coast scrapped because brand ‘toxic to Australians’

The little-known property developer and the US president’s son were all smiles when they shook hands on Valentine’s Day within the gilded walls of Mar-a-Lago on a deal they claimed would bring a Trump Tower to Australia’s Gold Coast.

But that dalliance has been dashed in less than three months, with the developer now claiming the Trump brand is now too “toxic” to work with.

Australia’s Trump Tower plans scrapped as developer says brand has become ‘toxic’

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/12/australia/australia-trump-tower-scrapped-intl...

One petition aiming to stop the project garnered more than 140,000 signatures.

Young said the tower will still proceed — but without the Trump name.

So Mr Young could not meet his financial obligations.

Quote:

However, the Trump Organisation said it pulled the deal because of the Australian property developer's failure to meet the "most basic" obligations related to the project.

In a statement to SkyNews.com.au, The Trump Organisation said Mr Young was using the US President's supposedly "toxic" brand as a distraction.

"While we were very excited about the opportunity to bring a world-class development to the Gold Coast, the project was dependent on our licensing partner meeting certain obligations," a Trump Organisation spokesperson told SkyNews.com.au.

"Unfortunately, those obligations were not fulfilled.

"After months of negotiations and empty promise, after empty promise, on a supposed $1.5 billion project, Altus Property Group was unable to meet the most basic financial obligation due upon the execution of the agreement."

Mr Young has declared bankruptcy twice and previously ran a company which collapsed in 2010 owing creditors $28 million, according to the ABC.

On ABC Gold Coast on Wednesday, Mayor Tom Tate said the deal fell through due to financial roadblocks.

“It's all about money,” he said.

Indeed.

That's how history will remember that name.

It's also synonymous with losing.

In the future, people will say "They did a Trump" when someone fails miserably at something.
