Construction of The Avenues – Khobar, an ambitious mixed-use development, is currently under way in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Havelock One Interiors has been appointed as the front-of-house fit-out contractor for this 820,000-sq-m lifestyle destination.

Commenting during the project mobilisation stage, Nigel Wilson, Division Director, KSA of Havelock One, said: “The Avenues – Khobar represents an important addition to the kingdom’s development pipeline, and we are prepared to deliver with the level of organisation and project discipline expected at this scale. Our teams are already engaged on the ground, ensuring a smooth start and a clear path toward successful delivery.”
The Avenues – Khobar has already taken a significant step toward sustainability by meeting the requirements and standards of LEED v4 and receiving a Gold Precertification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
