"We considered a number of offers and studies submitted by various prestigious organisations to execute the Residential Legends' designs and concluded that Gensler's experiences and capabilities are the best. Their portfolio of distinctive developments executed across the Middle East pays testament to our decision to have them on board, as they have been responsible for projects such as the Dubai International Financial Centre, Gateway Project, Aqaba Project in Jordan, as well as a number of other projects in the region," Al-Majid added.
Jose Stressa from Gensler said: "We are happy with winning a noteworthy and enormous project like the Residential Legends in Dubai Land and look forward to working with a reputed investment organisation that has such an extensive track record of achievements and breakthroughs such as Tanmiyat.
