Luxury real-estate developer DarGlobal has appointed Edrafor Emirates to carry out enabling and foundational works for the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Dubai.
The project is located on Sheikh Zayed Road at the entrance of downtown Dubai.
Edrafor Emirates will focus on foundational and ground engineering tasks, including deep site preparation and logistical mobilisation for full-scale construction.
Trump International Hotel & Tower, Dubai, which was announced in April, is planned as an 80-storey building reaching 350m in height.
The design includes hospitality facilities, residential units, and a members-only club called The Trump.
Planned features include an outdoor pool at a high level, penthouses drawing inspiration from New York’s Trump Tower, and views over the Burj Khalifa.
DarGlobal has indicated that project milestones will be announced as work progresses.
With Edrafor Emirates now mobilised on-site, the project moves into its next phase of construction.
Edrafor Emirates general manager Pierre Fayad said: “We are proud to be appointed to deliver the enabling works for this remarkable project. Trump International Hotel & Tower, Dubai stands among the most ambitious developments in the city, and we are committed to executing the foundational works to the highest international standards.
“With our technical expertise and longstanding track record on complex regional developments, Edrafor Emirates will ensure a precise and timely start to the construction journey, setting a solid benchmark for the works that follow.”
The development forms part of DarGlobal's portfolio aimed at attracting international residents and investors to Dubai.
DarGlobal CEO Ziad El Chaar said: “Dubai continues to attract global investors seeking exclusivity, architectural distinction and world-class hospitality, and Trump International Hotel & Tower embodies these qualities.
“The transition into site execution is an important step, reinforcing our commitment to delivering a landmark development that will stand among the most prestigious addresses in the region.”
DarGlobal recently announced the development of Muscat’s Marine, Art & Digital District in partnership with Art District Real Estate Development in Oman.
