The sale, organized by Itqan Real Estate, has been the largest real estate transaction in Saudi Arabia this year.
A strategic location: The land’s strategic location on the King Abdulaziz Road, situated between Makkah and Madinah, attracts potential investments due to high traffic, especially from pilgrims, Itqan’s Chairman Abdulaziz Al Rashid told Aleqtisadiah.
REMEMBER- Dar Al Arkan has been active: The Riyadh-based developer is also working on residential villas for the first phase of PIF-backed Roshn’s flagship Sedra project in Riyadh under a SAR 215 mn agreement it inked in April 2024. Meanwhile, the company is exploring further listings for its Dubai-based international arm Dar Global beyond the London Stock Exchange, with potential targets including the New York Stock Exchange, Chairman Yousef Al Shelash said last month.
