A newly released animated video is offering the first public look at renderings of former President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, showcasing a waterfront skyscraper and museum complex.
Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, while his son Eric Trump posted it on X with additional details about the project. Eric Trump described the development as a “lasting testament” to his father and his legacy.
“Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,” Eric Trump wrote. He added that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to “an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.”
“These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!” he added.
Eric Trump, who has been leading the project’s development, serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.
The video, set to orchestral music, opens with aerial views of the proposed waterfront site, featuring landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green space. It then reveals a towering glass structure topped with a spire.
Renderings show Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the building’s facade, along with a large American flag draped down the center. The design includes a presidential aircraft resembling Air Force One on the ground floor, as well as gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.
Additional images depict military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a gold statue of Trump, a stage and large digital screens.
The plans also include replicas tied to Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a ballroom.
The proposed library is being designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and would be built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.
In late September, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet approved transferring the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The site was briefly tied up in a legal dispute after a federal judge paused the transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.
The property is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and sits next to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for Cuban immigrants fleeing communism in the 1960s and 1970s. The 100-year-old building is widely regarded as a symbol of Miami’s immigrant heritage.
The surrounding area includes luxury high-rise apartments and waterfront views facing the Kaseya Center, home of the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, a major cruise port.
The parcel has been appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, though it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.
Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. Other trustees include Michael Boulos, the husband of Tiffany Trump, and Trump attorney James Kiley.
Trump carried Miami-Dade County by 13 points, becoming the first Republican to do so since 1988.
The unveiling comes as former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago is scheduled to open in June. President Donald Trump was notably left off the guest list for the opening of the Obama Library.
