On Sunday investor Shahal Khan announced his company White City Ventures had teamed up with American real estate tycoon Kamran Hakim to purchase the hotel for a cool $600million. The two are now planning to expand the brand far outside of Midtown Manhattan by setting up a sister hotel in the United Arab Emirates by 2020. 'The Plaza is very unique but has never been made into a global brand,' he told AFP. The Plaza's current owner is Subrata Roy of the Sahara Group.
