Dar Global, which is listed on FTSE, has multiple branded projects in UAE and other Gulf markets, and recently confirmed plans to build a Trump Tower in Dubai. It already has a Trump branded golf and residential community development in Oman.
It already has a project in London, the Mulliner, located on the corner of upscale Old Park Lane and Piccadilly and overlooking Green Park.
