Through its innovative vision and commitment to community development, ROSHN is poised to shape the future of urban living in Saudi Arabia

The Gulf region has emerged as a premier destination for global real estate investment. The region is characterised by robust economic growth, a strategic geographic position, competitive property prices, and progressive regulatory frameworks. One of the most exciting real estate destinations is Saudi Arabia, which is witnessing a remarkable economic transformation fuelled by its ambitious national development project, Saudi Vision 2030. The Kingdom has garnered international attention as it prepares to host significant events, including the Riyadh Expo 2030, the 2034 FIFA World Cup, and the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

At the forefront of this transformation is ROSHN Group, a leading real estate developer in Saudi Arabia, dedicated to creating vibrant mixed-use communities that promote homeownership and enhance the quality of life for residents. By prioritising sustainable, high-quality residential developments equipped with essential amenities such as schools, parks, retail outlets and healthcare facilities, ROSHN is committed to fostering inclusive neighbourhoods tailored to the needs of modern families.

Highlighted projects like ALDANAH in Dhahran and the Makkah-based ALMANAR showcase ROSHN’s commitment to building inspirational living spaces throughout the Kingdom. ALDANAH, for instance, spans 1.7 million square metres and comprises 2,500 homes, while ALMANAR, situated in Makkah, offers 4,149 residential units within a 2.5 million square metre community. Strategically situated, these developments provide residents with convenient access to vital services and transportation networks.

ROSHN’s strategy of collaborating with local and international partners not only enhances its market presence but also contributes significantly to the region’s economic development. For investors looking to capitalise on Saudi Arabia’s expanding real estate sector, driven by demographic shifts and government initiatives to boost housing availability, investing in ROSHN represents a strategic opportunity. Through its innovative vision and commitment to community development, ROSHN is poised to shape the future of urban living in Saudi Arabia.

However, ROSHN’s dedication to quality of life and national development extends beyond the construction of residential structures. Recently, ROSHN announced plans for a landmark 45,000-seat stadium in Southwest Riyadh, covering over 450,000 square metres. This mixed-use development will encompass a diverse array of retail, dining, and hospitality options, all designed around a central sports and events arena, fostering an open and cohesive environment. The ROSHN Stadium is set to become an architectural icon, featuring a striking crystalline structure that harmonises with the urban landscape while paying homage to the architectural heritage of Saudi Arabia’s central region.

This stadium signifies a pivotal moment in ROSHN’s venture into mixed-use developments, particularly within the sports sector. It underscores the Group’s unwavering commitment to enhancing quality of life through sustainable real estate initiatives, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. Visitors will benefit from comprehensive sports facilities, pedestrian-friendly walkways, and public green spaces, establishing the stadium as a dynamic community hub.

Designed to meet the rigorous standards required for major international sporting events, the ROSHN Stadium will also serve as a venue for diverse entertainment, cultural, and social activities. Its sustainable architecture integrates advanced water and energy management technologies, including solar panels, and features a roof engineered to optimise airflow for ventilation and daylight control.

Additionally, ROSHN has partnered with Aramco, a global leader in integrated energy and chemicals, to develop the Aramco Stadium, a 47,000-seat venue in Khobar, located in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Region. Set to be operational by 2026, the stadium will host numerous national and international events, including the highly anticipated 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

The design of Aramco Stadium draws inspiration from the Arabian Gulf, particularly the whirlpools that adorn its shores. This multifunctional facility will cater to both entertainment and sports, equipped with state-of-the-art amenities designed to the highest standards, ensuring inclusivity, safety, and sustainability. Upon completion, it is expected to become a premier national destination for sports and entertainment.

The development of sports infrastructure remains a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Quality-of-Life Programme and Vision 2030. Initiatives like the Aramco Stadium are aimed at increasing public engagement in sports, enhancing national performance on the international stage, and bolstering the sports economy.
