Omrania and Associates (Arabic: عمرانية وشركاه), also known as Omrania, is an international architectural, engineering, and urban planning firm based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Founded in 1973,[1] it specializes in the design of contextual and high-performance design projects.[2]
The firm has designed a diverse range of buildings and infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, as well as in the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa.[3] Omrania's best-known projects include the Kingdom Centre (Kingdom Tower), the Public Investment Fund (PIF) (formerly Capital Market Authority Headquarters) Tower, and the Aga Khan Award-winning[4] Tuwaiq Palace in Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter. The firm's most recent high-profile project in development is the King Salman Park in Riyadh, which will become the largest city park in the world.[5][6]
With approximately 500 employees, Omrania has two offices in Riyadh and additional offices in Jeddah and Amman, Jordan. The four office teams include professionals from more than 30 countries.[7] The company is led by a board of directors representing all design disciplines and administration units.
On November 14, 2023, Egis announced that it had completed the purchase of Omrania.[8]
