“The Trump Presidential Library will be one of the most magnificent buildings in the world,” said Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman.
He referred questions about costs and whether video renderings amounted to final designs to a nonprofit organization raising money for the library, which did not return requests for comment.
Willy A. Bermello, a principal at the Miami-based architecture firm that has been chosen to design the building, said in a statement that it would be the tallest presidential library in the United States.
He said the library would be “both an economic stimulus to our South Florida business community and an element of pride and distinction to all who call Miami home.”
In September, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and other top elected Republican state officials donated a prime state-owned property in downtown Miami to the nonprofit raising money for the library.

The 2.63-acre property, currently a parking lot facing Biscayne Bay, is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Trump’s son Eric, who incorporated the library nonprofit and scouted sites for the library, celebrated the renderings on social media on Monday night.
“This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known,” he wrote.
Florida officials were able to hand over the property to those working on the Trump library after the trustees of Miami Dade College voted to convey the property to the state at the DeSantis administration’s request.
Under the terms of the transaction, only certain parts of the property would be required to house a presidential library, museum or center. This would leave room for a hotel, condominium or other for-profit development. Construction would have to begin within five years.
