Repurposing a Montreal symbol and the world’s tallest inclined tower to create a modern and dynamic office space.

WSP was commissioned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to provide engineering design services, and by Mashreq Bank for construction supervision services, for Mashreq Bank’s new headquarters building, located in Dubai’s Downtown Burj Khalifa district. The 72,000m² development site is located opposite Dubai Mall and forms part of the Dubai Properties Group Masterplan area adjacent to Financial Centre Road.

WSP in Africa’s new headquarters offices in Johannesburg are the very embodiment of our company’s culture of collaboration, innovation and putting people first. Every element of the space we occupy at Knightsbridge Office Park in Bryanston is centred around worker wellbeing, from its biophilic design principles to its active workspace floorplans.

The prestigious 16-level commercial tower at 720 Bourke Street, Melbourne, was part of a major cultural change programme for Australia’s largest health insurer, Medibank. The firm wanted to align the building with its core purpose and create better health outcomes for its members, employees and the community. 

Accommodating up to 12,000 people, working for many different companies, 22 Bishopsgate, will become the tallest building in the City of London when it is completed. The 62-storey commercial tower will provide a wide range of facilities for occupants while becoming London’s first ‘vertical village’. 

425 Park Avenue is new 687-foot tall tower in New York located between 55th and 56th Streets in Midtown. It is the first new skyscraper built on Park Avenue in the past 50 years to be dedicated solely to office space.

This 735,000-square-foot new office building is formed of three primary bars that are offset and stacked. The top bar rises 11 stories and cantilevers toward downtown Chicago. For the top five-story bar, WSP USA collaborated with the team to integrate full-height trusses to provide the 180-foot clear spans and 60-foot end cantilevers.

The Incubator Lab is part of the KASCT BADIR Program for the Technology Incubators and Accelerators Complex, an ambitious 380,000-square-foot, mixed-use complex. The BADIR complex will include a six-story corporate headquarters with four separate buildings designated for incubator labs.

The 80-story Index Tower in Dubai houses both residential and commercial spaces, housing about 6,000 residents and office workers. WSP USA’s structural engineers explored optimal structures for the mixed program before selecting the clear, architecturally expressed scheme.

WSP teamed with John Portman & Associates as a key consultant on the winning concept design for this Greenland project in Yinchuan, China.
