Past fellowships include Habitat of the Future, Mobility on Demand, and Tall Buildings in the city.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.safdiearchitects.com/practice/safdie-architects-research-fellowship |title=Safdie Architects Research Fellowship |access-date=February 18, 2021}}</ref> In December 2023, Safdie Architects announced it was suspending its involvement in controversial hotel development in Jerusalem's Armenian quarter, citing "controversy surrounding the land lease agreement".<ref>Safdie Architects respond to participation in the Armenian Quarter land lease deal [https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/safdie-architects-respond-to-involvement-in-the-armenian-quarter-land-lease-deal/]</ref> This followed an attack by some 30 armed masked individuals on Armenian community members holding a vigil at the site.
