Jared Kushner, the prominent figure and son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump, has recently made headlines with his ambitious real estate ventures in Albania and Serbia.
His company, Affinity Partners, is currently in advanced negotiations with both Balkan countries for investments exceeding $1 billion in the tourism sector.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg News, Kushner revealed his plans to revamp Albania’s largest island, Sazan, situated in the Mediterranean Sea, into a luxurious tourist destination. Additionally, he aims to develop multiple hotels and hundreds of villas on Zvërnec Island in Vlorë, southern Albania. In Serbia, Kushner intends to transform three derelict residential blocks in Belgrade’s city center into a high-end hotel, along with commercial spaces and over 1,500 residences.
These ambitious projects are a testament to Kushner’s vision and strategic partnerships, some of which were cultivated during his tenure as a senior White House official. Collaborating with Richard Grenell, the former US special envoy for dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, Kushner has leveraged his connections to navigate the complexities of investing in government-controlled lands in Albania and Serbia.
The New York Times reported that Kushner’s foray into the Balkans was facilitated by Grenell’s network, which he cultivated during his time in the US government. Kushner’s visits to Albania, accompanied by Grenell and Ivanka Trump, underscore the diplomatic ties and high-level engagements that have paved the way for these lucrative real estate endeavors.
Following his role in the White House, Kushner founded Affinity Partners, a firm boasting assets worth $3.1 billion and backed by Middle Eastern investors with substantial state support, including significant funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Beyond real estate, Affinity Partners is poised to explore investments in renewable energy, data centers, and artificial intelligence, showcasing Kushner’s diversified business interests and strategic foresight.
