Construction is set to commence in September on a new $200 million ballroom at the White House, realized from President Donald Trump's long-held vision. The 90,000-square-foot project, designed by McCrery Architects in a luxurious style inspired by Trump's private clubs, will replace the East Wing with a seating capacity for 650 people. Trump is personally funding the project along with private donors, aiming to create a legacy space for hosting large events. The ballroom is expected to preserve the neoclassical architectural heritage of the White House.
