Join us on October 9 at NORR's Toronto studio for an exclusive evening hosted by SOSA Canada, featuring Yahya Jan, President and Design Director at NORR Group, Dubai, alongside his project team.

The event begins with a 15-minute presentation on Ciel Dubai Marina, the record-breaking development set to be the world’s tallest hotel tower. Following this, Yahya and his team will take us behind the curtain in a candid 1-hour panel discussion moderated by Aman Yousuf, Treasurer, SOSA Canada. Together, they’ll share the challenges, decisions, and creative breakthroughs that brought this ambitious project to life.

From late-night decisions to bold ambitions, discover what it truly takes to change a skyline. This conversation will reveal not only the technical feats but also the human stories behind Ciel.

The evening concludes with open networking, giving you the chance to connect with peers, colleagues, and the team from NORR.
