ROSHN ‘greenifies’ Cityscape with tree planting initiative

ROSHN, the Kingdom’s leading national real estate developer and PIF-funded giga-project, hosted a live tree planting event led by its corporate social responsibility initiative — YUHYEEK — at Cityscape Global in Riyadh to highlight the importance of environmental sustainability to attendees.

ROSHN’s green initiative turned its outdoor pavilion at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center, where the Cityscape exhibition was held, into an interactive space allowing attendees to participate in the tree planting activity and take part in raising awareness about the importance of sustainable environmental practices. The initiative resulted in more than 300 trees being planted, which were then relocated to a permanent home in one of ROSHN’s developments.

“At ROSHN, we put sustainability at the heart of everything we do and integrate the natural world into every one of our developments. You can see this in the green spaces, parks, and tree-shaded living streets that are so important to boosting quality of life through our communities. With this interactive live tree planting initiative, we’re showcasing how the natural world is a vital partner to the future of living, while our wider green initiatives extend the benefits of nurturing the natural world across the Kingdom,” said David Grover, ROSHN’s Group CEO.

The live planting event at Cityscape is part of ROSHN’s wider green initiative across the Kingdom, which incorporates 93 planting initiatives to celebrate the Kingdom’s 93rd National Day. ROSHN will plant a total of more than 65,000 trees across a range of different initiatives to support sustainability, the environment, and quality of life.

Cityscape — the leading international real estate event — ran from Sept. 10-13 in the Saudi capital, with ROSHN sponsoring as a founding partner. The inaugural Saudi Arabia edition of Cityscape featured more than 200 speakers and over 180,000 attendees. Panels, presentations, and discussions focused on four key pillars: Smart Cities for Tomorrow, Digital Transformation, Accelerating the Kingdom, and a Developers Forum.

Azure opens Azure Takhassusi residential community in Riyadh, fully leased to Saudia

Azure, a Mohammed Al Habib Real Estate company and the owner of Riyadh’s largest portfolio of residential compounds, has announced the official opening of Azure Takhassusi, its newest premium residential community. The project has been fully leased to Saudia, the Kingdom’s national flag carrier.

The launch marks a major milestone in the eight-year partnership between Azure and Saudia, one of the longest-running and most successful corporate housing collaborations in Saudi Arabia. The development reflects Saudia’s continued confidence in Azure’s ability to deliver high-quality residential environments that meet strict standards of comfort, privacy, service excellence and operational reliability.

Purpose-built to support the wellbeing and lifestyle needs of airline professionals, Azure Takhassusi offers more than accommodation. The community provides a fully integrated living experience, combining modern residences, premium facilities, dedicated resident services and professional community management. Designed to promote stability, convenience and peace of mind, the compound allows employees to focus on their professional responsibilities with confidence.

“This opening represents more than the launch of a new residential compound,” said Fahad Al Assaf, president of Azure. “It is a strong statement of trust built over eight years of partnership with Saudia. Azure Takhassusi reflects what long-term collaboration can achieve when two organizations share a commitment to quality, people and performance.”

For Saudia, fully leasing Azure Takhassusi underscores the airline’s continued investment in its workforce. By providing secure, comfortable and professionally managed housing, the airline aims to strengthen its employee value proposition, recognizing the role that high-quality living environments play in attracting and retaining talent.

Azure currently operates the largest portfolio of residential compounds in Riyadh and is a market leader in corporate housing for major institutions across the Kingdom. Its partnership with Saudia remains one of its most significant, spanning eight years of steady growth and large-scale delivery.

The opening of Azure Takhassusi marks another milestone in that journey, setting a new benchmark for corporate housing that supports workforce wellbeing, operational excellence and long-term partnerships in Saudi Arabia.
