In Albania, new real estate deals involving Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald J. Trump, have reignited old grievances among local stakeholders. Kushner, along with his wife Ivanka Trump, is negotiating exclusive rights to develop two grand hotel properties along Albania’s picturesque coastal regions.
These developments, valued at approximately $1 billion, are planned on historically significant sites previously operated under communist rule in Albania. Local families, some of whom have owned and farmed the land for decades, argue that the land was unfairly appropriated after the fall of communism in 1991.
Kushner, working closely with senior Albanian officials, aims to transform a strategically located island into a luxury resort. The move, however, has sparked unease among locals who feel sidelined in the wake of foreign real estate investments that promise to reshape their community’s landscape.
This evolving situation in Albania highlights the complexities and challenges of international real estate developments, particularly those involving high-profile figures like the Trump family, where local histories and the specter of past injustices loom large.
