Dubai: Hong Kong based designers P&T Architects and Engineers, has won the design consultancy for the First Abu Dhabi-Shams on the Reem Island project by Mayadeen Gulf Estate Company (WLL), a subsidiary of National Ranges Company, the company said in a statement.

P&T Architects and Engineers, employing over 900 staff around the world, recently opened a new branch in Abu Dhabi to coincide with the award of the project.

The development enjoys a central location within the 385 acre Shams Abu Dhabi master plan that is currently being developed by Sorouh as a major urban node within Abu Dhabi City, its new heart and metropolitan centre.

This massive comprehensive development consists of two separate adjacent sites with a combined gross floor area of around 3.5 million square feet.

Primarily residential in nature, almost 2,000 flats are provided within 4 main 50-storey residential towers.

The towers also have two smaller mixed-use blocks.

With the population of Abu Dhabi expected to more than double to two million in the next 10 years there will be an increasing demand for new housing units and this is one of the major projects that will help meet the requirement.

William Yuen, Director of P&T Architects, said, "We were delighted to win this project as design architects which coincided with the opening of our new office in Abu Dhabi.

"Since 2004 the value of real estate projects announced in Abu Dhabi has exceeded Dh380 billion with Shams Abu Dhabi alone valued at Dh9.1 billion."

"Having established ourselves in Dubai we are extremely keen to be a part of this new market," said Yuen.
