Saudi Arabia-headquartered real estate developer Dar Global has asked contractors to express interest in a contract to build the Trump International Hotel and Tower project in Dubai.

Dar Global is developing the project in collaboration with the US-based Trump Organisation.

The 80-floor tower will be built next to the Shangri-La Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.

The tower will be among the tallest in Dubai, with an estimated height of approximately 350 metres.

In December last year, Dar Global appointed Dubai-based Edrafor Emirates to undertake the foundation works on the project.

Dar Global is also developing the estimated $1bn Trump Plaza Jeddah project in Saudi Arabia. 

In November last year, Abu Dhabi-based contractor Arabian Construction Company won the estimated SR2bn ($532m) main contract to build the Trump Tower Jeddah.

The project comprises a mixed-use development of apartments, townhouses, offices, retail, food and beverage offerings, and a 4,000-square-metre club.

Dar Global, a subsidiary of Dar Al-Arkan, was one of the first Saudi brands to list on the London Stock Exchange.

According to an official statement, the project is the region’s first Trump International Hotel & Tower and represents the fifth collaboration between Dar Global and the Trump Organisation.

Dar Al-Arkan established Dar Global in 2017 to focus on developing projects in the Middle East and Europe. It has $12bn-worth of projects under development in six countries: the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UK and Spain.

It completed three developments – the Urban Oasis and Da Vinci towers in Dubai and the Sidra gated community in Bosnia – in 2023.

The company collaborates with global brands including Missoni, W Hotels, Versace, Elie Saab, Automobili Pagani and Automobili Lamborghini.
