Major transit oriented mixed-use urban development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, planned as a large scale, phased urban district integrating residential neighbourhoods, commercial centres, retail, employment, community infrastructure and public realm around major transport connections.

The masterplan comprises approximately 7.8 million sqm of GFA across a 5.36 million sqm landholding, with capacity for approximately 50,000 residential units and a significant supporting commercial and mixed-use programme.

McGrath PDS supported the vision masterplan and development feasibility, including development capacity assessment, land use and asset mix testing, density and GFA optimisation, development phasing, market positioning and commercial strategy.

The mandate focused on aligning the masterplan with market demand, transport oriented development principles and long term investment objectives, while establishing a commercially viable development framework capable of supporting phased delivery of a major new urban district.
