Illuminated by city lights at night, Riyadh resembles a bright sea of flowers amidst the desert landscape. It is the capital and most populous city of Saudi Arabia, situated in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula. Riyadh's transformation has been remarkable - from a small, fortified desert village in the 17th century to a modern metropolis of several million inhabitants in the 20th century. The city offers modern office spaces, state-of-the-art communication networks, and a conducive environment for entrepreneurs. With over 4000 mosques, bustling shopping centers, and cultural souks, life in the city is dynamic and centered around family values. Riyadh plays a key role in the Saudi Vision 2030. The government aims to make Riyadh one of the world’s top 10 economic cities. With a focus on economic, industrial, and tourism growth, they plan to invest $23 billion over the next 8 years. Despite its desert surroundings, Riyadh has developed extensive green spaces and parks, offering residents and visitors a respite from the arid climate. . . . . #Riyadh #Place2Place #Globalcities #GlobalRelocation

A more diversified residential market in Riyadh is on the horizon, offering smaller units ranging from 50 to 60 sqm. This shift isn't about affordability but about creating investment-led products to attract future business and leisure visitors. Embracing this diversity opens up new opportunities in the market. #RiyadhRealEstate #MarketDiversity #InvestmentOpportunities

Riyadh is preparing to host major global events, driving its tourism and development forward. With its urban population growing significantly, traffic jams have become a common issue. The population of the capital is set to double by 2030. Consequently, there is a growing demand for convenient and efficient public transportation. Thankfully, as part of the King Abdulaziz Project for Riyadh Public Transport, six metro lines have been constructed and rigorous testing is ongoing. These lines will cover a total length of 176 kilometers (109 miles) and include 85 stations. The project began in 2014. The estimated cost of the project's construction is $22.5 billion, and it is expected to become operational for passengers soon. With 105 kilometers of predominantly underground rail, the residents of #Riyadh and tourists are expected to embrace this new mode of travel, which will enable them to navigate the city easily in every direction. This metro system could very well serve as the cornerstone of #SaudiVision2030. Now that is #sustainablegrowth

Riyadh has emerged among the top 15 fastest-growing cities by 2033 on the Savills Growth Hubs Index. Driven by Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia continues to offer endless opportunities for new development and business expansion. Notably, Riyadh is the only non-Asian city on Savills’ top 15 Growth Hubs list due to its forecast of a 26% population growth, taking the city from 5.9 million to 9.2 million in 10 years. Riyadh’s growth will likely result in continued government spending on mega infrastructure projects as well as improved amenities and services to accommodate the growing population.

Riyadh, the capital of the future, has won the bid to host the Expo 2030. It's another accolade for the Gulf nation, which was the fastest growing economy last year among G-20 countries. Saudi Arabia is one country that is - and should be - on the radar of sagacious investors. Since 2016, the country has awarded construction contracts with a combined value of $250 billion, and has launched around $1.25 trillion worth of #realestate and infrastructure projects. New residential units, Grade-A office spaces, and retail units are being added in major cities. International brands like Ritz Carlton and Elie Saab have partnered with developers, including Dar Al Arkan and the PIF-backed Diriyadh Company, to launch branded residences in #Riyadh. Saudi Arabia is neither short of area nor the investment. It's the largest country in the Middle East and the fifth-largest in Asia. PIF, the government's investment arm, alone is worth USD 700 billion. Today, the fund made another headline by entering into a binding agreement to acquire 10% stake in London's Heathrow Airport Holdings. Want to explore the opportunities and offerings of this fast emerging economy? HF Corporation can help you connect with the right partners. #Expo2030 #Saudiarabia #Construction
