Egypt’s Arkan Palm has awarded the design contract for a 205-acre mixed-use development in Sheikh Zayed City to Gensler, an architecture firm based in the US, Thomson Reuters Projects News reports. The development will be a commercial and leisure complex, constructed in partnership with the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA). Gensler will complete its designs within five months, and the project will then submit all documentation for ministerial approvals and licenses, Arkan Palm said in a statement last week.
