Held on April 22 in Riyadh, the awards celebrate the teams and individuals shaping the future of cities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
ERA-co were shortlisted for six awards, including Consultant of the Year, but were awarded two, for Mixed-Use Development of the Year (Makkah Township Masterplan) and Breakthrough Architect of the Year, awarded to Taras Kashko.
“Recognition at the KSA Design Middle East Awards reflects our consistent focus on advancing the Kingdom’s vision—through design that balances ambition, resilience and performance, and lasting spatial and social impact,” said Taras Kashko.
“ERA‑co and Woods Bagot have been active in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 2016, delivering projects of diverse typologies that drive growth and foster innovation,” says Paolo Testolini, Global Director of Urban Design and Masterplanning. “This award recognises our steadfast commitment to the Kingdom and our ongoing contribution to the ambitions of Vision 2030.”
These recognitions underscore the impact of our Urban Design and Masterplanning team, whose work sits at the core of ERA‑co’s offering as Global Placemakers. Congratulations to all the fellow awardees.
