Florida Cabinet transfers $66M Miami parcel to Trump library foundation

On September 30, 2025, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet — comprising the attorney general, chief financial officer, and commissioner of agriculture — voted to convey a nearly three-acre parcel of state-owned real estate in downtown Miami to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, Inc. The property, appraised at more than $66 million and located adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower on Biscayne Boulevard, had been used as an employee parking lot by Miami Dade College. The state justified the transfer on grounds that the site would provide greater public benefit and increased economic development as a presidential library. The foundation is led by three trustees: Eric Trump, Michael Boulos (Tiffany Trump's husband), and Trump attorney James Kiley.
