Trump settles on downtown Miami for his presidential library [View all]

Donald Trump’s future presidential library will be housed in downtown Miami at a location selected, in part, because of its proximity to the Freedom Tower, a landmark that played a significant role in helping Cuban refugees migrating to Florida.

Trump’s team has for months been eyeing Florida, where the president is a resident, as the location for the library, which they also hope can be part of a larger development that will include an adjacent hotel. It would be the first presidential library to also be home to a hotel development.

NBC News reported in March that Eric Trump and top Trump adviser Steve Witkoff had made trips to South Florida for site visits to Florida International University, which is in Miami-Dade County, and Florida Atlantic University, located in neighboring Palm Beach County. They met with Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had been lobbying to make Florida home to the Trump library.

Both lost out, however, and the formal location will be housed on land currently owned by Miami-Dade College, adjacent to the Freedom Tower and located on the city’s downtown waterfront.
