Home Industry Construction Saudi’s ROSHN unveils new residential project in Greater Dammam Aldanah will feature more than 2,500 homes, spread across 1.7 million square metres, catering to nearly 10,000 residents by Neesha Salian April 24, 2024 Image: Supplied ROSHN Group, the Saudi real estate developer owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has launched Aldanah, marking its sixth integrated community project in the kingdom. Aldanah will feature more than 2,500 homes – spread across 1.7 million square metres – catering to nearly 10,000 residents. The community offers a diverse range of residences, including duplexes and villas. Strategically positioned at the intersection of Dammam, Dhahran and Al Khobar in Greater Dammam, the development enjoys a prime location next to King Abdulaziz Road, just a short 20-minute drive from King Fahd International Airport. The community will host an array of amenities, including a city experience centre, a district mall, neighbourhood retail centres, a primary healthcare centre, mosques, and six schools integrated into walkable neighbourhoods. Leveraging the rich cultural heritage of the region, Aldanah’s design and architecture will blend traditional motifs with modern materials and techniques. ROSHN to honour sustainability commitment Aldanah’s homes will prioritise energy conservation through innovative measures such as ultra-low U-value concrete, 250-litre solar water heaters, and highly efficient air-conditioning systems. Additionally, nearly 10 per cent of the development’s footprint will be dedicated to urban green spaces, complemented by shaded “Living Streets” adorned with native trees and shrubs. The presence of cycle lanes and mobility hubs will provide residents with micro-mobility options like e-bikes and e-scooters, reducing reliance on traditional vehicles.
