US-BASED Leo A Daly has opened a new office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which will focus on the infrastructure, housing, healthcare and education markets.
This is the second office opened by the international architecture, planning, engineering, interior design and programme management firm in the Middle East in recent years.
“Saudi Arabia is a fast-growing economy and is investing in its infrastructure, hospitals and universities,” said Charles Dalluge, executive vice-president of Leo A Daly. “We have worked with Saudi clients since the 1970s, and opening this office will help us play a significant role in fulfilling the country’s needs.”
Jay N Kline, regional manager, Saudi Arabia, will lead the office in close collaboration with Ross Ensor, the firm’s corporate international director, to build prospective and existing client relationships and identify new project opportunities.
The opening of the Riyadh office marks the eighth international location for the company, which also has other regional offices in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Istanbul, Turkey.
