Saudi-based Jadwa Investment Company has announced that it has signed an five-year master-lease agreement with National Building and Marketing Company for a premium residential compound in Riyadh for a rental value of SR250 million ($67 million).
 
The agreement for the Marvella Residential Compound was signed by Jadwa in its capacity as the manager of Jadwa REIT Saudi Fund. 
 
Spread over a 73,000 sq m area on King Abdullah Road, Marvella is a mixed-use complex featuring 594 housing units and 21 commercial showrooms.
 
As per the lease deal, the National Company for Building and Marketing will be re-renting and operating the residential complex for a period of five years starting from March 13, 2023 to March 13, 2028 for an annual rent of SR50 million to Jadwa Fund for the next five years excluding VAT, stated Jadwa in its filing to Saudi bourse Tadawul.
