Eastern Region

In the Eastern Province, the group reports that it is seeing strong demand for its ALDANAH community in Dhahran, with over 80 per cent of its initial housing offerings within the project already booked.

Construction work on this expansive development commenced in May and sale of units opened in June. Upon completion, ALDANAH community will include more than 2,000 residential units, amenities including schools, shops and offices across 1.7 million sq m. The project is located in the heart of Dhahran, within close proximity to landmarks such as Al Khobar’s corniche (only 15 minutes away), Ithra (10 minutes away), The Avenues–Khobar mall and the upcoming Aramco Stadium – another prominent ROSHN initiative.

The Aramco Stadium, a collaborative venture between Aramco and ROSHN Group, continues to make rapid progress since its groundbreaking in September 2024. Following the completion of the stadium’s foundation works, the main contractor Bawani-Besix joint venture (SBJV) has appointed a subcontractor to manage the entire HVAC and plumbing systems.

Set for completion by the end of 2026, the 47,000-seat stadium – which will be used for both sporting and entertainment events – will be one of the region’s first fully air-conditioned venues, ensuring comfort for spectators and participants alike. The stadium is set to host the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

ROSHN Stadium is now in the final stages of selecting its main contractor.

Central Region

Preparations for the ROSHN Stadium in southwest Riyadh are advancing swiftly. Announced as part of Saudi Arabia’s bid for the FIFA 2034 World Cup, the project is now in the final stages of selecting its main contractor. Prospective contractors for the stadium are currently submitting their final offers through a request for proposal process, with ROSHN Group aiming to commence work early on this crucial development.

The project’s scope includes a 45,000-seat stadium spanning over 450,000 sq m, alongside additional features such as training academy offices, two hotels, and various retail and food and beverage facilities.

One-third of MARAFY canal’s excavation has been completed.

Western Region

In Jeddah, major progress has been made for ROSHN Group’s largest mixed-use project, the MARAFY canal. This waterway, designed to span over 11 km in length and 100 m in width – comparable in size to waterfronts in cities such as Chicago (US), Stockholm (Sweden) and Central London (UK) – will integrate residential, retail, and commercial zones to support a population of over 130,000.

As of this summer, one-third of the canal’s excavation has been completed, and 1.7 million cu m of earth has been removed from the site. Additionally, construction activities have begun on elements such as the quay wall, the rising main, and bridges across the canal, all achieved with zero lost-time injuries. The canal, adjacent to the group’s ALAROUS residential community, remains on track for timely completion.
