The White House is set to construct a new ballroom adjacent to the East Wing, a project that aligns with President Donald Trump's desire since 2016. The ballroom will cover approximately 90,000 square feet and seat 650 guests, addressing the need for larger formal events, as current functions are limited to the East Room's 200 seating capacity. Funding will come from Trump and other donors, with anticipated completion before January 2029. Architectural renderings show compatibility with the White House's existing style, while modernisation of the East Wing will also be necessary.
The White House's new ballroom will be approximately 90,000 square feet, accommodating 650 guests, fulfilling a long-term vision of President Donald Trump.
Construction of the ballroom, projected at $200 million, will be funded by Trump and other donors, with completion expected before January 2029.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that most formal functions are currently held in the East Room, which seats about 200 people, highlighting the need for this addition.
The new ballroom, to be architecturally similar to the mansion, will be built where the current East Wing sits and necessitates modernisation of that section.
