ROSHN Group, Saudi Arabia’s largest multi-asset developer and a Public Investment Fund (PIF) giga-project, will be out in force at this year’s Cityscape Global event which opens in Riyadh this month. The exhibition, which is set to break attendance records welcoming over 172,000 visitors during its four-day run, will be focusing on the theme of “The Future of Urban Living”.

At the leading property event, ROSHN will be showcasing the progress it has been making across its various developments in Saudi Arabia.  Front and centre of its portfolio showcase will be its flagship Riyadh development, SEDRA, where it plans to expand its offering. Following the successful September launch and quick sell-out of its latest apartment offering for the fifth phase of SEDRA which comprises more than 2,000 homes, the company will unveil new premium villas and multi-family apartment buildings at Cityscape. ROSHN expects that increased availability and a wider selection will continue to boost sales. The developer points to the success of its last apartment launch in September, which sold out in a matter of weeks.

ROSHN is looking to boost the amenities at SEDRA.

The developer will also make a number of major announcements at Cityscape related to SEDRA, where it is looking to expand the number of amenities on offer – details of which will be revealed at the event.

Located in northern Riyadh, close to King Khalid International Airport, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, and the ROSHN Front retail and commercial hub, the SEDRA community will eventually comprise more than 30,000 residential units and cover an area of 20 million sq m.

At Cityscape, ROSHN Group will also promote its first project in Makkah, ALMANAR, where work is in progress on ensuring the community’s energy supply. The developer recently announced that it is building a substation on site, work on which is already 57 per cent complete.  The substation is expected to be energised in time for the first handovers of homes on the project which is scheduled to take place in the next 18 months. The substation will help to ensure a reliable power supply, both for ALMANAR as well as the wider area in the western suburbs of Makkah, ROSHN points out.

ALMANAR is a landmark, fully integrated residential community covering 21 million sq m, which will offer 33,000 homes as well as numerous facilities.

Other prominent projects being showcased at the global property event are ROSHN’s mixed-use project in Jeddah, MARAFY, where work will start on the second-third of the 11-km-long canal, as well as on its neighbouring community ALAROUS where ROSHN Group is also looking to expand its product offerings with the release of more villas and apartments.

Spread over 4 million sq m, ALAROUS is expected to offer more than 18,000 homes.

Among other developments, ROSHN will also shortly announce updates on its stadium project in Riyadh, including contractor confirmations.

A ‘Truck’ at Cityscape Global will offer visitors an insight into its communities.

Visitors to ROSHN Group’s stand will be treated to a glimpse of what to expect in terms of its full portfolio of projects, with visual displays for its communities, sports facilities, retail, commercial and education offerings. For those who want to get a sense of what it will be like to live in one of the group’s communities, the developer will have its ‘Truck’ present at Cityscape Global, offering visitors an insight into its Riyadh-based communities through virtual and augmented reality experiences. The immersive displays will allow guests to virtually traverse the streets, community and residential units of communities like SEDRA and WAREFA.

Located in East Riyadh, in the rapidly developing Al Janadriyyah district, WAREFA covers an area of 1.4 million sq m and will comprise 2,300 homes.

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP 

Cityscape Global will serve as a platform for the soft launch of foreign property ownership in the kingdom. The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing is leveraging the event to familiarise non-Saudi nationals – both residents and non-residents – with the buying process, ahead of the new laws taking effect in January 2026.

ROSHN will be a key participant in this rollout. Certain ROSHN projects will be open to foreign ownership, and the developer’s sales teams will be on ground to guide visitors as to how they will be able to purchase off-plan properties, including procedural steps for non-residents.

With 2026 anticipated to be a year of ramped-up residential delivery, mixed-use contract awards, and the start of foreign sales, ROSHN Group anticipates the coming 12 months will be its biggest
to date.
