Ivanka Trump says she swam barefoot to a 1,400-hectare, off-grid Mediterranean island to scout her next project. Now, she and Jared Kushner are building a massive destination from scratch on one of the last untouched coastlines in Europe. Here is exactly what they are building. I looked into the details. The site is Sazan Island in Albania. It is a decommissioned Soviet and Italian military base that has sat abandoned for years. Through Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, they are investing $1.4 billion to transform the restricted island into an ultra-luxury eco-resort. To pull this off without ruining the pristine terrain, they partnered with Aman Resorts. Aman is famous for hiring master architects who integrate buildings directly into the natural topography. Major Food Group, the company behind Carbone, is handling the dining. Building a world-class destination from absolute scratch with zero existing power infrastructure is a massive logistical challenge. If they succeed, they will turn a forgotten weapons base into one of the most impressive travel destinations in the world.
