These opportunities include two commercial complexes, a fuel station, and a commercial kiosk. They also cover a store, multipurpose locations, a site for second-hand clothes, and two residential-commercial sites. Additionally, the projects include four car maintenance centers, three pedestrian bridges, and 12 cash dispensers. 

The Qassim Municipality, through its branch in Riyadh Al-Khabra, has announced six investment opportunities via Furas. These opportunities are available for private sector entities in the commercial, sports and entertainment, and industrial sectors. 

Representing the Asir Municipality, the Dhahran Al-Janoub branch has announced 18 investment opportunities via the municipal investment portal, spanning commercial, sports and entertainment, and industrial sectors as well.
