The property firm recently bought the athletes’ village in London’s Olympic park for USD906 million along with UK developer Delancey Estates.

Diar has other investments including London’s Chelsea Barracks redevelopment, the building of the Shard skyscraper, the Harrods department store and the US embassy site in Grosvenor Square.
