Qatari Diar, a unit of Qatar Investment Authority, has also hired Graham Marsh to design the project in the coastal city of Tangier, Gulf Times reported, citing Qatari Diar deputy CEO Ahmed al-Mazroei.

The company has also appointed Kempinski Hotels to manage a new five-star hotel and spa on the same development.
