Building a skyscraper
in Senegal
Tekfen Construction’s Business Development Division is monitoring the latest global developments
with a fine eye. From Africa to Kazakhstan, from Albania to Northern Europe, wherever an opportunity
presents itself, the Tekfen team is there to assess, analyse and evaluate, and, if appropriate, move in.
Tekfen’s research and analyses, and the contacts it makes, are often the precursor to projects that
are vast in scope and which provide employment to thousands. Each project has its own story, but
perhaps the most intriguing of them will, if realised, be the one in which a Senegalese businessman
visited Tekfen Construction and said that he wished to “build a skyscraper”.
