Mixed-use
under construction
This 700,000 square meter mixed-use development includes three towers: a 58-story office, a 53-story hotel and an 88-story residential tower. The site also includes a traditional souk, up to seven levels of retail in the podium, an 11-story business hotel, five basements, a green roof above the market, and a bridge system linking these areas together. When Foster + Partners and H+P were appointed based on a concept level design, the basement had already been excavated and the Developer wanted to begin construction immediately. Within four months, H+P was able to develop preliminary design information to issue the first piles for construction, and continued to issue construction documents in advance of construction needs, as the building’s design developed in parallel.
