Saudi Arabia: 3500 villas and townhouses in Riyadh
Saudi Arabia represents the latest market for Arada’s announced expansion, having established Arada KSA in partnership with XTOPIA, which specializes in developing multi-use communities and destinations.
The partnership allows the new company to access a land portfolio of 10 million square meters in Riyadh, Jeddah and Mecca, with a total value of approximately $13.33 billion (SR 50 billion).
The company’s first project is a residential community in the Rimal neighborhood northeast of Riyadh, worth about $3.73 billion (14 billion Saudi riyals), which extends over an area of approximately 2.5 million square meters, and includes about 3,500 villas and townhouses.
The plan includes the planting of 100 thousand trees, a school, commercial and sports facilities and a community center, with the aim of starting sales and construction work during 2027. The project will be funded through an investment structure regulated by the Saudi Capital Market Authority, managed by a licensed financial company.

The project extends in the Syrian capital Damascus on an area of four million square meters, and includes about 11 thousand housing units, ranging from apartments, villas, townhouses and units with brands, in addition to 500 hotel rooms and a thousand serviced apartments.
