The region made up by far the biggest share (42.1 per cent) of its 177.5 million income for the 2023-24 year.Fosters pipeline of work in the Middle East includes major Saudi Arabia projects.

That is despite it being the UK's largest practice, achieving a record 422 million in turnover over the period.Fosters managing director Stuart Latham said of the Electric Boulevard occupation: It has been a privilege to be part of the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station and we are now delighted to be expanding into a state-of-the-art office space at 50 Electric Boulevard.AdvertisementHe continued: The location has strong links with our existing Riverside studio in Battersea and allows us to actively support our growing workforce in London.Foster + Partners design for a six-runway international airport in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia
