Ivana Trump, ex-wife of U.S. tycoon Donald Trump, will put her design touches to a luxury residential tower which will be built by a Dubai-based real estate developing company in downtown Beirut.

Hussein Sajwani, president of the board at Damac Properties, held a press conference in Beirut Monday to announce the $150 million "La Residence" tower, which will be built at the intersection of Omar Daouk and Fakhreddine streets at the heart of the capital.

Sajwani said at the conference held at the Phoenicia hotel said that the investment is proof of our faith in Lebanon and its people. Beirut is the number one tourism capital of the Arab world.

Ivana Trump, former vice-president of interior design for the Trump Organization, has been selected to do the interior design work on the tower's apartments, duplexes and penthouses. There will also be restaurants, cafes and shops in the tower.
