ALDANAH by ROSHN: A New Benchmark for Living in Saudi Arabia
When you think of luxury living, with spacious interiors, green spaces, and abundant amenities, Dubai often comes to mind. But that perception is shifting, and the country leading this transformation is Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is redefining how people live, work, and play. At the forefront of this change is ROSHN Group, the PIF-owned multi-asset developer. ROSHN's latest community development recently broke ground in Dhahran, in the Eastern Region. ALDANAH, the Group's first coastal community in the region, will feature over 2,000 homes across 1.7 million square meters. It introduces a new standard of living that prioritises thoughtful design, sustainability, and lifestyle. The result is a community that not only elevates the experience for its residents but also sets a new tone for the wider region. ROSHN Group has paid close attention to feedback, offering a diverse mix of home typologies that include a driver's room, a maid's room, and shaded parking as standard. Large windows maximise natural light, creating bright and airy spaces. Responding to the growing appetite for premium homes, ROSHN has introduced three exclusive villa designs located along ALDANAH's central 'green spine'. These homes feature expansive plots, ideal for gardens or swimming pools, and come with three or four parking spaces and an internal lift. Representing just 6% of the total homes, these 150 premium villas are a limited opportunity for elevated living. ALDANAH has been designed with long-term sustainability in mind. All homes are equipped with thermal insulation, energy-efficient air conditioning, and EV charging provisions. The wider community is equally forward-thinking, with smart irrigation systems, soil moisture sensors, and recycled water supporting the lush landscaping. With more than 145,000 square meters of land cultivated with native trees and shrubs, the community is envisioned as a natural haven. This commitment is most visible in the green spine running through the heart of ALDANAH, which includes walkways and cycling paths that connect residents to the community's many amenities. As with other ROSHN developments, ALDANAH embraces the 15-minute community concept, where everything a resident needs is within a short walk or drive. Once complete, ALDANAH will feature retail outlets, restaurants, schools, mosques, and office spaces. Key regional destinations, such as Aramco Stadium, Ithra, The Avenues Mall, and KFUPM, are all within a 15-minute drive. The opening weekend saw a strong response, with more than 80% of the initial release booked. If you missed out, more homes will be released soon.

Saudi's ROSHN building local supply chain to minimise external risks: Report
Saudi developer ROSHN, backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), said it is building local supply chains to minimise exposure to external risks, primarily the US-proposed reciprocal tariffs.

These deals offer suppliers a detailed view of ROSHN's needs over the next 10 to 15 years, he added. Kattan stated that the Saudi construction sector is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.4% between 2026 and 2029, driven by ongoing transformation initiatives.
