Chapman Taylor has signed a new collaboration agreement with PMD Group to develop the concept for a major new mixed-use project in Baku, Azerbaijan. The agreement was signed during the eighth meeting of the UK–Azerbaijan Joint Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Chapman Taylor Group Board Director Adrian Griffiths attended the event, joining Lord Sarwar, representing the UK, and Azerbaijan’s Minister of Energy, Parviz Shahbazov, for discussions celebrating the strong and growing trade and investment relationship between the two countries.
The meeting brought together senior government representatives and business leaders to explore opportunities for further economic cooperation, investment and commercial partnerships between the UK and Azerbaijan.
During the event, Chapman Taylor and PMD Group, one of the practice’s key clients in Azerbaijan, formally signed a collaboration agreement to jointly plan and develop the concept for a new mixed-use destination in Baku.

The ambition is to create a distinctive, people-focused development that integrates places to live, work and spend time, contributing to Baku’s continued urban transformation.
