ROSHN Group, Saudi Arabiaโs leading multi-asset class real estate developer, and Talaat Moustafa Group Saudi (TMG), one of the Middle Eastโs most experienced community developers, signed a preliminary agreement to establish a joint company to explore and develop a mixed-use project in Riyadh, in which Talaat Moustafa Group Saudi will hold a 51% stake in the joint company, while ROSHN Group will hold a 49% stake.
Industry sources added that this agreement establishes a framework for the two groups to evaluate a potential partnership for the phased development of the project. The two groups are set to bring their respective experience through a collaborative approach, combining ROSHN Groupโs knowledge of the Saudi market and its track record in contributing to the urban development and delivering integrated, human-centric communities and destinations with TMG Saudiโs experience in developing large-scale, mixed-use developments to unlock further investment opportunities spanning residential and commercial developments, as well as hospitality, retail and fully integrated human-centric communities, drawing on ROSHN Group’s extensive land bank and Talaat Moustafa Group’s proven track record in delivering large-scale mixed-use developments.
The concept under evaluation is for a residential-led, mixed-use community supported by retail, commercial, hospitality, leisure, healthcare and education facilities, together with parks and public spaces. ROSHN Group and TMG Saudi intend to undertake detailed master planning and business case development for the project. The project is expected to comprise more than 55,000 residential units,ย according to preliminary studies.
Naaman Atallah, Group Chief Executive Officer of ROSHN Group, said: โROSHN Group is committed to unlocking the potential of its strategic land bank through partnerships with leading developers that share our ambition for creating exceptional destinations. We are pleased to explore this opportunity with TMG Saudi and assess how our combined expertise can contribute to the development of a world-class mixed-use project that enriches quality of life and supports the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.โย
