Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Syska opened Singapore on April 23, 2026, expanding its Asia client base.
  • Riyadh opened June 3, 2025, targeting fast-growing Saudi data-center demand.
  • April 23, 2026 promotions in four cities strengthen leadership depth and BIM execution.

What critics are saying

  • Elevate 2035 depends on internal execution; missed growth targets erode independence by 2035.
  • Riyadh and Singapore expansions increase fixed overhead before regional demand fully matures.
  • Data-center specialization concentrates exposure; hyperscale slowdowns would hit 2026 backlog hard.

What makes Syska Hennessy Group unique

  • Syska Hennessy remains management-owned, backing Elevate 2035 independence on May 13, 2026.
  • It spans MEP, ICT, commissioning, and vertical transportation across 21 offices worldwide.
  • Its sector mix includes hyperscale data centers, healthcare, aviation, and mission-critical engineering.

The airport sector seeks longevity, optimization over novelty.

The airport sector seeks longevity, optimization over novelty. In California, the Hollywood Burbank Airport's new state-of-the-art terminal will be fully electric - only the second airport in the U.S. to do so. Designed by Corgan, in association with CannonDesign and Syska Hennessy Group on the MEP side, the terminal will pursue LEED Gold certification, incorporating solar technology to supplement power generation, maintain thermal comfort, and reduce energy dependency. The new terminal is "inspired by old Hollywood glamour," says Brent Kelley, Managing Principal and Aviation Sector Leader at Corgan. "The facility will feature dramatic, sweeping lines with hints of art deco and Mid-Century design."
