Speculation over the possible construction of a Trump Tower in Islamabad has gone viral after the X (formerly Twitter) account South Asia Index claimed that the Trump Organization is in early talks with a prominent Pakistani property tycoon. The rumored project, if realized, would bring the iconic Trump brand to Pakistan’s capital and could involve substantial foreign investment.

The proposed development is said to mirror the architectural and luxury benchmarks of Trump properties in Dubai and Istanbul, targeting elite clientele, expatriates, and business travelers in the region.

Background of the Rumor
The speculation first emerged in January 2025 when journalist Umar Cheema was cited by a local digital outlet claiming that former U.S. President Donald Trump might explore a luxury real estate project in Pakistan. These claims were linked to his close ally, Gentry Beach, a key figure in Trump’s business network.

Gentry Beach and White Bridge Real Estate
Gentry Beach, who heads White Bridge Real Estate, visited Pakistan and announced plans for high-end developments in Islamabad and Karachi, including luxury skyscrapers and branded residences. During his meetings with top government officials and business figures, Beach highlighted Pakistan’s potential as an emerging luxury real estate destination, stating, “We see Pakistan as a high-growth market… the scale of investment could reach billions of dollars.”

Nobel Peace Prize Link
Speculation around Trump’s interest in Pakistan has been further fueled by the country’s recent announcement to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing his diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions between India and Pakistan.

No Official Word Yet
Despite growing online excitement, neither the Trump Organization nor the Pakistani government has issued an official statement confirming the project. For now, the possibility of a Trump Tower in Islamabad remains speculative.
