Najran Municipality introduces 20 investment opportunities in Yadamah governorate 

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Najran Municipality has unveiled 20 diverse investment opportunities across the governorate of Yadamah, encompassing commercial, sports, recreational, shopping, and event activities. 

These prospects are dispersed across various locations within the locale, including parks, squares, main roads, and public walkways, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency. 

The municipality clarified that the investment opportunities range from temporary agreements to investment deals spanning five to 25 years in various activities. It invited interested investors to review the possibilities and details of the competition through the Forsah platform, which translates to “opportunity” in English.

On March 26, the Deputy Governor of the Najran Region, Prince Turki bin Hathloul bin Abdulaziz, received a detailed briefing on eight investment prospects within the province during his meeting with Saleh Al-Ghamdi, the region’s mayor. Al-Ghamdi, along with other officials, visited the governor’s office for the discussion. 

Prince Turki stressed the importance of seizing the region’s available financial opportunities through collaboration with all pertinent government entities. He underscored the pivotal role these agencies can play in promoting development and enhancing the region’s economic prosperity. 

In the same month, the municipality of the region, represented by its branch in Habona, presented 31 investment prospects across various areas of the governorate, encompassing the establishment, operation, and maintenance of 21 automotive service centers in the governorate’s industrial area. 

Additionally, opportunities include the establishment and operation of three kiosks, three car showrooms, and three auto dismantling yards in the same industrial zone. 

In January 2024, the Najran Municipality offered 15 investment possibilities in various locations through the Forsah portal. 

These prospects encompass the development and management of six commercial and residential sites, two billboards, and a sports field. They also entail establishing and operating a clinic, a hotel, as well as a festival and events center. Furthermore, they include launching a fuel station, tourist camps, and a fodder warehouse. 

In the same period, the regional municipality announced seven temporary investment opportunities, one of which involved establishing winter camps in the city of Najran, with the aim of enhancing services and improving quality of life.

New Murabba seeks contractors for Mukaab Towers fit-outs: MEED

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s New Murabba Development Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, has issued a request for information to gauge the market for modular and offsite fit-out solutions for its flagship Mukaab development, MEED reported on Wednesday.

The RFI was released on Jan. 26, with submissions due by Feb. 11. NMDC has also scheduled a market engagement meeting during the first week of February to discuss potential solutions with prospective contractors.

Sources close to the project told MEED that NMDC is “seeking experienced suppliers and contractors to advise on the feasibility, constraints, and execution strategy for using non-load-bearing modular systems for the four corner towers framing the Mukaab structure.” The feedback gathered from these discussions will be incorporated into later design and procurement decisions.

The four towers — two residential (North and South) and two mixed-use (East and West) — are integral to the Mukaab’s architectural layout. Each tower is expected to rise approximately 375 meters and span over 80 stories. Key modular elements under consideration include bathroom pods, kitchen pods, dressing room modules, panelized steel partition systems, and other offsite-manufactured fit-out solutions.

Early works on the Mukaab were completed last year, with NMDC preparing to award the estimated $1 billion contract for the main raft works. This was highlighted in a presentation by NMDC’s chief project delivery officer on Sept. 9, 2025, during the Future Projects Forum in Riyadh.

Earlier this month, US-based Parsons Corp. was awarded a contract by NMDC to provide design and construction technical support. Parsons will act as the lead design consultant for infrastructure, delivering services covering public buildings, infrastructure, landscaping, and the public realm at New Murabba. The firm will also support the development of the project’s downtown experience, which spans 14 million sq. meters of residential, workplace, and entertainment space.

The Parsons contract follows NMDC’s October 2025 agreements with three other US-based engineering firms for design work across the development. New York-headquartered Kohn Pedersen Fox was appointed to lead early design for the first residential community, while Aecom and Jacobs were selected as lead design consultants for the Mukaab district.

In August 2025, NMDC signed a memorandum of understanding with Falcons Creative Group, another US-based firm, to develop the creative vision and immersive experiences for the Mukaab project. Meanwhile, Beijing-based China Harbour Engineering Co. completed the excavation works for the Mukaab, and UAE-headquartered HSSG Foundation Contracting executed the foundation works.
