Ankur Aggarwal, chairman and founder, BNW Developments, said that their company’s alliance with Taj is not merely a partnership.

 

“It is a grand convergence of heritage and masterful craftsmanship, a union befitting those who seek nothing less than excellence,” said Aggarwal in a statement.

 

Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, co-founder and MD, BNW Developments, was quoted as saying, “Ras Al Khaimah is the epicentre of avant-garde luxury, and with this partnership, we reinforce our commitment to crafting spaces that embody timeless refinement. Taj’s unparalleled hospitality ethos perfectly complements BNW’s architectural brilliance, setting a new benchmark for opulent living.”

 

“At Marjan, we remain committed to supporting BNW in this remarkable journey, ensuring that, together, we continue to drive the emirate’s evolution as a premier global destination,” said Arch Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan. “I would also like to extend my gratitude to Taj, the legacy hospitality brand by IHCL, for supporting our vision and passion in transforming RAK’s (Ras Al Khaimah) skyline alongside BNW.”
