Reviving a Landmark: The Journey of a Prestigious Tower in Abu Dhabi

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the recent RICS UAE CPD session, where we explored the transformation of a prestigious tower in Abu Dhabi - from acquisition to revival.

With many buildings across the region approaching the need for retrofit, this case study serves as a strong example of what’s possible when strategic planning, technical due diligence, and expert collaboration align.

Together with our partners at STRUCTURAL Middle East, the CSQ team walked attendees through the full project journey: from acquisition challenges to structural investigation, reporting, and final delivery, showcasing the value created when expertise leads the way.

A special thank you to our speakers - Ryan Bray, Andrew Brenton, Saifur Gulfraz, Bill Hutton, and Roland Salloum for sharing their insight and experience. We’re also grateful to Andrew Minihan and Laura Waind for hosting an engaging and impactful session at the Radisson Blu in Dubai Media City.

This project reinforces a timely message: with the right team and approach, older buildings don’t just adapt, they set new benchmarks.

If you’d like to learn more about our work in project management, technical due diligence, or building surveying, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always open to a conversation.
