We play a critical role in the conceptualization and execution of these spaces and have been involved in some of the most iconic projects ever delivered; buildings that define the skyline of many of the world’s most illustrious cities.

AECOM works with owners and developers who demand creativity and flexibility because, while they must develop a distinct project for today that stands apart, their project must also be able to seamlessly pivot towards future trends in the market. Modern commercial and residential buildings present opportunities to investigate new and innovative concepts that could fundamentally alter the collective vision of what is possible within these spaces.
