Jeddah unveils 29 real estate projects across industrial, residential, retail sectors
RIYADH: Jeddah Municipality has announced 29 new investment opportunities across more than 1.4 million sq. meters, targeting sectors such as commercial, industrial, residential, and recreation. Jeddah's investment package includes 13 commercial opportunities featuring developing and operating retail shops and commercial complexes across various districts. The initiatives include the development of an integrated container city spanning 846,684 sq. meters and a second container park at 429,223 sq. meters. This latest undertaking also follows a similar wave of investment opportunities recently launched in Riyadh, underscoring a nationwide push to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy and enhance urban livability. Jeddah's additional projects feature a 145,472-sq.-meter barley milling and packaging facility, eight worker residential compounds, and eight public parks equipped with kindergartens and retail outlets. A food truck zone under the municipal incubator program in South Obhur has also been introduced. In the education sector, a health college project has been announced. The strategically distributed initiatives aim to meet neighborhood needs while ensuring synergy between activities. The municipality has invited investors to submit proposals through the Furas Saudi investment portal. It noted that the bid submissions will be accepted from May 1 until July 8, as per the scheduled timeline. The Furas portal streamlines investor access, reflecting a unified approach to municipal investments. This undertaking underscores Jeddah's commitment to economic growth and urban development in alignment with national objectives. Riyadh's 2025 investment portfolio — spanning commercial, industrial, and leisure projects — mirrors the Kingdom's strategic focus on private-sector-driven development under Vision 2030. In March, the Riyadh Municipality unveiled 20 new investment prospects across 175,000 sq. meters, including mixed-use spaces, retail hubs, and industrial zones, with contracts ranging from five to 25 years. Key districts like Jarir, Al-Rawdah, and Al-Qadisiyah are prioritized to ensure balanced growth. Complementing these efforts, the city has expanded its green infrastructure, adding 87 parks since 2022 to reach over 745,000 sq. meters of green space — transforming them into multifunctional community venues. These parallel initiatives highlight Saudi cities' commitment to sustainable urbanization, economic diversification, and elevated quality of life, cementing the Kingdom's position as a regional leader in transformative urban development.
