MARKETING<br />
It’s been a very fruitful year for U+A ARCHITECTS - we have delivered<br />
several projects including shopping malls and residential buildings.<br />
We are currently working on a five-star hotel in Downtown Dubai, a mixed use<br />
development in Jeddah, and an 80-storey tower in Dubai Marina, among others.<br />

Our interior design for Hyatt Hotel, Capital Gate Tower, Abu Dhabi has<br />
received a lot of appreciation.<br />
It was also highly commended at the 2012 Commercial Interior Design Awards, in<br />
the Hospitality category.<br />
As a practice, we always desire to design socially sustainable projects.<br />
Our renovation/extension of the Dubai Foundation complex for Dubai Government<br />
is a good example of this type of project.<br />

Moreover, we have decided to expand our services and cover other areas as<br />
well, such as healthcare and education developments.<br />
We are aiming to become a key player in other emerging markets such as Qatar and<br />
Saudi Arabia, through our strategic partners.<br />
We strongly believe that there will be a boost in the construction business.<br />
We kept our faith during the downturn.<br />
Hopefully we are going to have a very active and productive year ahead. Now is the<br />
time for which we were waiting for, so therefore we have called 2013 the year of<br />
‘moving forward’.<br />
