May was Saudi Arabia\u2019s biggest month for project awards in <\/strong>2026<\/strong>, logging SAR 30 bn across 18 contracts, a 154.4% m-o-m surge, according to a Saudi Contractors Authority r<\/a>eport (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

By sector: <\/strong>Infrastructure took the lion\u2019s share of both value and volume with 10 projects worth over SAR 25 bn, or 55% of total awards. Construction came in second at SAR 3.9 bn, followed by water and energy at SAR 390 mn, and industrial projects at SAR 337.5 mn. <\/p>\n

Regional breakdown:<\/strong> Aseer topped by value on a single contract \u2014 the SAR 18.8 bn Aseer-Jazan expressway, owned by the Transport Ministry, National Center for Privatization & PPP, and the Aseer Region Development Authority. Riyadh followed with SAR 8.7 bn across four projects, led by Royal Commission for Riyadh City\u2019s SAR 4.9 bn Sheikh Jaber Al Sabah Road and an SAR 3.3 bn residential project in Dahiyat Khuzam by Grova Developments, Tilal Real Estate, and the National Housing Company. Makkah led by volume with seven contracts worth SAR 1.6 bn.<\/p>\n

The geographic spread tells the strategy:<\/strong> The Aseer-Jazan expressway ties into the Kingdom\u2019s push<\/a> to position Aseer as a tourism destination, Sheikh Jaber Road continues Riyadh\u2019s infrastructure buildout ahead of the 2034 World Cup, and Dahiyat Khuzam adds to a residential pipeline that Knight Frank estimates<\/a> will need to deliver around 830k additional units by 2034 to keep pace with population growth. Makkah\u2019s awards, meanwhile, will stack onto SAR 13.3 bn in recently awarded redevelopment contracts<\/a> to prep the holy city for foreign property ownership.<\/p>\n

The timeline:<\/strong> Of the projects awarded in May, eight worth SAR 24 bn are due for completion in 2028 \u2014 the heaviest delivery year. Two projects worth SAR 547.5 mn are expected this year, two more worth SAR 375 mn in 2027, and four worth SAR 712.5 mn by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
