If you’re looking for a single "X" on a map to mark where Donald Trump’s headquarters is, you’re going to get frustrated pretty fast. Honestly, it depends entirely on what you mean by "headquarters." Are we talking about the nerve center of his businesses? His political operation? Or just where he actually sits and signs papers?
Since January 2025, the answer has basically shifted back to the most obvious place in the world: the White House. But for everyone else—reporters, protestors, and business partners—the "headquarters" of the Trump brand and the Trump political machine still live in a few very specific, very famous locations.
The reality is that "headquarters" is a fluid concept for the 47th President. For years, the power center was in Midtown Manhattan. Then it migrated to a beach club in Florida. Now, it's a mix of government property and private estates.
The Political Nerve Center: Palm Beach and D.C.
During the 2024 campaign, if you wanted to find the "Trump Headquarters," you had to head to West Palm Beach, Florida. Specifically, the campaign was run out of a nondescript office building not far from his private club. While many people think the campaign was run inside Mar-a-Lago, the actual day-to-day work of Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita’s team happened in a functional office space nearby.
Now that he’s back in office as of January 20, 2025, the political "headquarters" has largely folded into the West Wing. However, the MAGA political operation—which doesn't just stop because there's an election over—still keeps a heavy footprint in Florida.

Mar-a-Lago (1100 S. Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL) is still the "Winter White House." It’s where the high-level donor meetings happen. It’s the place where foreign leaders and GOP kingmakers go to kiss the ring. Even though the official business is in D.C., the cultural and political "home base" remains in Palm Beach.
The Business Headquarters: Trump Tower NYC
If you’re asking about the Trump Organization, the answer is still 725 Fifth Avenue, New York City. That’s Trump Tower.
Even though Trump himself officially changed his primary residence to Florida back in 2019, the glass skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan remains the legal and operational headquarters for his real estate empire. You’ve got Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump running the show there.
- The 26th Floor: This is where the executive offices are.
- The Penthouse: Still the family's New York residence, though it's seen less use lately.
- The Lobby: Still a public space (and a bit of a tourist trap) where you can buy a "MAGA" hat or a gold-flecked chocolate bar.
It’s kinda wild how the building has changed. It used to be a symbol of 80s luxury. Now, it’s a fortress. Between the Secret Service presence and the NYPD, the "headquarters" feels more like a military installation than a corporate office.
Where the "Transition" Lived
Between November 2024 and January 2025, the "headquarters" was essentially a moving target. The transition team, led by Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick, didn't use the traditional government-provided spaces in D.C. as much as previous presidents. Instead, they did a massive amount of work out of Florida.
This was a big deal at the time because it broke the "Beltway" tradition. They were vetting Cabinet picks like Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi right there in Palm Beach. If you were a job seeker in the new administration, you weren't flying to Washington; you were flying to PBI (Palm Beach International Airport).
So, where should you look?
If you're trying to find "Trump Headquarters" today, in early 2026, here is the breakdown:
- For Government/Official Business: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. (The White House).
- For the Trump Organization: 725 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY (Trump Tower).
- For the MAGA Movement/Personal Base: 1100 S. Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL (Mar-a-Lago).
Why the location of Trump Headquarters matters
Knowing the location isn't just about curiosity. It's about where the influence is. For instance, the shift of his "base" from New York to Florida fundamentally changed the Republican party's center of gravity. It moved it away from the old-school Wall Street "Establishment" and toward the Sun Belt.
Also, it’s worth noting the legal side of things. Because the Trump Organization is headquartered in New York, it’s subject to New York state law, which led to all those headlines about the Attorney General and the civil fraud cases. If the headquarters were in Florida, the legal landscape for his businesses would look totally different.
Common Misconceptions
You'd be surprised how many people think "Trump Headquarters" is the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas or his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
- Bedminster: This is a summer retreat. Trump spends a lot of time here from May to September because Florida gets too hot. It’s a "summer headquarters," but not the official one.
- Doral (Miami): A huge revenue driver for his company, but it's a resort, not a corporate HQ.
Actionable Steps for 2026
If you’re planning to visit or need to contact any of these "headquarters," keep these things in mind:
- Security is tight: Don’t expect to walk into Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago and get a meeting. Both are under heavy Secret Service protection.
- Check the schedule: If the President is in town (especially in Palm Beach), traffic is a nightmare. Road closures around Southern Boulevard in West Palm Beach are common.
- Public Access: Trump Tower’s lobby and grill are generally open to the public during business hours, but you’ll have to go through a metal detector and bag check.
- Business Inquiries: Direct any corporate matters for the Trump Organization to the Fifth Avenue address, but be prepared for a long wait for any response given the current political climate.
The "headquarters" isn't just a building; it's wherever the family and the inner circle happen to be at that moment. Right now, that's a triangle between the White House, Trump Tower, and the Florida coast.
