Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG Architecture) and Magnon Properies are developing the planned Forbes International Tower.

The partnership, which marks the first time that Forbes has branded a commercial tower, was announced on the concluding day of WEF 2023 where world leaders and experts discussed, amongst other important topics, the need for mainstreaming smart and resource-efficient climate solutions in urban development to enhance the livability, efficiency, and productivity of cities.

“The visually striking, beautifully futuristic 'Forbes International Tower,’ by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, is a contextually responsive soaring glass, steel, and photovoltaic-laced design. The tower features captivating curves of glass and steel that launch skyward to form 55 floors of flexible office space and two stories of high-end retail experiences,” said Adrian Smith.

Located in the northern Central Business District of Cairo’s New Administrative Capital, the commercial tower will draw on surrounding natural resources and energy performance standards with a solar panel rooftop, fully automated HVAC field devices, and modern intelligent building technology.
