“With the evolution, the vision to transform urban living is becoming more tangible as we introduce our expanded approach and dedication to improving quality of life through iconic new destinations across the kingdom,” said Ghada Al Rumayan, ROSHN’s chief marketing & communication officer.

“Our growing portfolio now seamlessly integrates forward-thinking amenities and elevated connectivity, fostering opportunities for commercial partnerships, job creation, investment, and economic growth in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.”

ROSHN will develop its diverse assets beyond its integrated communities, enabling it to amplify living standards, foster economic growth, and contribute to societal progress in alignment with Vision 2030 objectives.

Founded in 2020, the master developer is building close to 400,000 homes across Saudi Arabia, along with about 1,000 schools, as well as entire commercial and entertainment districts. The developments are part of a plan to upgrade infrastructure in the world’s biggest oil exporter and help diversify the economy away from hydrocarbons.

Saudi Arabia’s construction sector is booming, with a 4.3 per cent surge in output value in H1 2024 to reach a total of $141.5bn across key sectors, including residential, institutional, infrastructure, industrial, energy and utilities, and commercial.
