Roshn Group is making significant strides with its raft of high-profile projects in the capital, including Sedra, its flagship integrated community, and the upcoming Warefa development. As part of its expanded portfolio, Roshn is also pushing ahead with plans for a stadium that will host several of the FIFA World Cup 2034 matches.
Sedra, spanning over 20m sqm is adjacent to Riyadh's main airport and the Riyadh Expo 2030 site, and will feature 30,000 homes and 400 amenities across eight phases. The integrated community is also situated next to the retail and commercial area of Roshn Front.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF)-backed company says it has completed infrastructure for Sedra 1A and is in the process of handing over approximately 3,000 homes to owners in this part of the development, with the majority having been handed over in 2024.
Next door in Sedra is 1B, which features over 1,000 multi-family units and apartment buildings that are being built by AlKifah Contracting. Roshn has also signed an agreement with the National Water Company to jointly plan for the development of water utility services for each of its residential projects.
Further phases are under way; China Harbour Engineering Company is developing infrastructure for Sedra 2, which will include several thousand family villas being constructed by Shapoorji Pallonji.
Meanwhile, Sedra 3 and Sedra 4 will feature 3,400 and 2,500 units respectively, with the latter also housing the community's first Saudi Sports for All Federation Dome. Other phases are in the design stage, with construction expected to begin soon.
In terms of services at Sedra, Roshn has signed an agreement with the Riyadh Region Municipality that covers the management, operation and maintenance of all municipal assets and infrastructure at Sedra's first phase.

PIF also sold its stakes in Chinese online retail giant Alibaba Group, Brazil's banking company Nu Holdings, and US logistics company FedEx.

Saudi wealth fund sold its stakes in Meta, Shopify and PayPal in Q2
BANGALORE/DUBAI: Saudi Arabia's almost $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund sold its stakes in several U.S.-listed companies - including Meta, Shopify and PayPal - in the second quarter, according to securities filings released on Thursday. The Public Investment Fund also sold its stakes in Alibaba Group, Nu Holdings and FedEx, the 13F filings show, during a quarter in which U.S. stock markets rebounded from an April drop tied to U.S. tariff policies. The filings showed that PIF no longer held any shares in Meta, Shopify, PayPal, Alibaba, Nu Holdings and FedEx. Its previous filing showed that, at the end of March, the fund had 667,996 class A shares in Meta, 1.25 million class A shares in Shopify, 1.76 million shares in PayPal, 6.83 million shares class A shares in Nu Holdings, 1.61 million in Alibaba sponsored ADS, and 498,164 common shares in FedEx. PIF's total exposure to U.S. equities, which include call options that give the state investor a right to buy an underlying asset at a specified price within a specific time period, was valued at $23.8 billion at the end of the second quarter, versus $25.5 billion at the end of the first quarter. Tasked with spearheading Saudi Arabia's economic diversification under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 plan, PIF has moved well beyond its early holdings in Saudi public equities and infrastructure. In recent years, the fund took high-profile stakes in global brands, such as Uber and Lucid Motors, while also backing sports ventures including LIV Golf and English soccer club Newcastle United. At home, it has poured billions into giga-projects such as NEOM, the futuristic city on the Red Sea, and sectors like tourism, logistics, and clean energy.

Philippine Ambassador Raymond Balatbat met with senior officials from the International Labour Organization (ILO) on Aug. 12 to discuss strategies aimed at improving Saudi Arabia's labor market. He was joined by Labor Attaché Atty. Dominador Salanga of the Migrant Workers Office–Riyadh and First Secretary and Consul Dean Jason Arriola. The ILO delegation was led by Deputy Regional Director Peter Rademaker. The talks followed the recent signing of a cooperation agreement between the ILO and the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. Both sides outlined measures to strengthen labor policies in the Kingdom, with a focus on fair recruitment practices, enhanced market data, and improved protection for workers. Filipinos, one of the largest expatriate groups in Saudi Arabia, are seen as a key stakeholder in the initiative. The ILO aims to create a comprehensive baseline of the Saudi labor market to guide future reforms that will benefit both employers and migrant workers. The meeting underscored the Philippines' active role in shaping labor reforms in Saudi Arabia and its commitment to safeguarding the rights and welfare of overseas Filipino workers. Officials expressed optimism that the collaboration would lead to concrete improvements in labor standards across the Kingdom.
