Skies of Ejabah
Makkah, Saudi Arabia
After winning an international design competition, Gensler was appointed to lead the design of this mixed-use development set to anchor a central district of Makkah with 1.6 million square feet of retail, restaurants, meeting facilities and hotel accommodations. Gensler worked to unlock the value of the site's challenging mountainous terrain, while establishing the project as a premier retail, entertainment and hospitality destination within walking distance to the Holy Mosque. Designed to achieve a minimum rating of LEED® Silver, the project is expected to set a new standard for future development within the Makkah community.
