Dewan bags KSA design contract

Dewan was awarded the design and supervision contract by Abdullah Al Reziza Group.

Dewan Architects and Engineers celebrated the launch of its new office in Riyadh with the announcement of a contract to design and supervise the construction of a 28-floor commercial tower in Al Khobar.

The contract was awarded to Dewan by Amlak Sheikh Abdulrahman and Sheikh Sulayman, sons of the family-owned Abdullah Al Reziza Group of companies.

A statement from Dewan said the tower will be situated on the Khobar-Damman road and is envisaged to be an architectural landmark.

It will consist of 28 floors of office space, retail outlets on the ground and mezzanine floors, and parking on two basement and four upper mezzanine podium floors.

“This tower represents a new addition to the rapid development of Dewan as it diversifies into new markets,” said the firm’s founder and managing director Mohamed Al Assam.

“It is one of the most important commercial projects in Al Khobar, and will be a great new addition to the modern architectural landscape in the Kingdom."

Dewan opened its first office in the UAE in 1976 and now boasts offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, Baghdad, and Manila, employing more than 300 professionals.

The firm was ranked number 52 by Building Design World Architecture Magazine on its list of the Top 100 Architectural Firms in the World in January 2009.
