MUMBAI, March 19 (Reuters) - Tribeca Developers, the

Trump Organisation's property development partner in India, on

Wednesday launched the first Trump-branded commercial real

estate project in the country targeting sales of over $289

million.

India has become the Trump brand's largest real estate

market outside of the U.S. over the last decade, where Tribeca

has helped to develop residential projects in four Indian cities

under licensing agreements with other local developers.

The office project named "Trump World Center" will be

developed in collaboration with real estate company Kundan

Spaces in the western Indian city of Pune, where several large

global and local IT firms have set up offices over the last

decade.

The project is scheduled for completion in about four years,

Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca Developers, told Reuters in an

interview in Mumbai.

Mehta said that his company will also be launching

three-to-four more Trump-branded luxury residential projects

across northern and southern India over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

He forecasts the combined sales potential from the office

project launched on Wednesday and upcoming residential projects

at $1.15 billion.
