While the statement didn't disclose the project value, a Reuters report dated 29 April 2025 said the project's Gross Development Value (GDV) is $1 billion, quoting Dar Global CEO Ziad El-Chaar.
The 80-floor, 574-unit tower stands 350 metres high and will feature Dubai’s highest outdoor pool, as well as two penthouses inspired by New York’s Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. It is scheduled for completion between 2030 and 2031.
