Luxury developer Nick Candy (pictured) plans to licence the brand name Candy & Candy as part of efforts to expand globally, media reports said.
Famously known for the "uber prime" One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, Candy revealed that he was taking his cue from Donald Trump "who was doing this (franchising his name and brand) years ago".
"The Candy & Candy brand has long been associated with the world’s most luxurious real estate and after 15 years in design we are now ready to take the brand global and deliver the Candy & Candy standard of luxury living in other major cities around the world."
The company is looking to create landmark residential developments in new locations such as Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Melbourne, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Moscow, St Petersburg and Saudi Arabia.
"We will work with carefully selected partners on specific projects from multiple unit developments to resorts and residences, which will deliver on our core values of the best location, quality and design, and most importantly allow us to ensure product quality and the highest operating standards," he said.
