When complete, Diriyah Square will host over 400 of the finest retail brands, luxury boutiques, and dining concepts.
This partnership follows the recent award of a $600 million (SAR 2.249 billion) contract to Salini Saudi Arabia Co. Ltd. for construction work on the high-profile Diriyah Square, which will sit above one of the world’s largest underground car parks with over 10,500 spaces.
As a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030, the broader Diriyah development is forecast to contribute approximately $18.6 billion (SAR 70 billion) to the Kingdom’s GDP, create nearly 180,000 jobs, and be home to an estimated 100,000 people upon completion.
