Reza Kabul Architects
Architect Reza Kabul’s journey began in his father’s Irani café in Mumbai, where he cultivated the values of discipline and hard work that continue to define his distinguished career. After completing his Bachelor of Architecture from Maharaja Sayajirao University in 1985, he established Reza Kabul Architects Pvt. Ltd. (ARK) in 1988. Over the past 37 years, he has pioneered high-rise architecture and set benchmarks in contemporary design.
ARK is renowned for innovative solutions that blend urban planning with interior expertise, shaping projects that balance functionality with visionary aesthetics. Landmark works include the Taj Skyline Hotel, Taj Gandhinagar Resort & Spa, and iconic residential towers such as Transcon Triumph, Ekta Tripolis, and Reva.
With a portfolio of over 3,500 projects worldwide, Reza Kabul has redefined skylines and communities across the U.S., Dubai, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Africa, and beyond. His influence on modern architecture has been widely recognized — Forbes named him among India’s Top 30 Architects in 2024, and his firm recently received the International Property of the Year 2025 award for Nakshatra Regalia II, a mixed-use project coming up in GIFT City, Gujarat.
Looking ahead, his upcoming portfolio includes Fintech Commercial and Narmada, two iconic commercial developments, and Hyatt Regency Gujarat, along with another Hyatt property in Guinea, Africa. In residential architecture, projects like Reva, Gandhinagar and One Marina, Mumbai — a 70+ floor luxury skyscraper — continue to reinforce his reputation as a visionary leader in global architecture.
