Gensler – a leading global architecture, design and strategic consulting firm – has been appointed to design the new headquarters in Cairo for Al-Mansour, the distributor for General Motors in Egypt.

Located in the heart of Cairo’s rapidly evolving business district, the new building is designed to streamline Al-Mansour’s business needs in the region by integrating the firm’s corporate headquarters, showroom, parts and services facilities and is expected to offer customers and building users a unique service, retail and corporate experience in line with the high-quality Al-Mansour and General Motors brands.
In the design scheme proposed by Gensler for the building, the glazed corporate wing ascends horizontally juxtaposing the descending showroom and creating a dynamic winged structure. A moat reflects light into the showroom space displaying the cars as the customer approaches the entrance zone. The building offers individually tailored showroom, service and corporate experiences that merge on the first floor interaction lounge level that contains terraces, retail, cafes and lounges with generous views both through the building and beyond.
