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.

On this occasion, a wide range of special offers was introduced on local products, available across all LuLu Hypermarket branches throughout the Kingdom.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mohammed bin Dayel, general supervisor of the Made in Saudi program at the Saudi Export Development Authority, and Mohamed Haris, director of LuLu Saudi Arabia, alongside members of LuLu’s executive management team. The event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the specially designed Founding Day gateway.
Following the inauguration, guests toured several dedicated zones and exhibitions highlighting national products. The tour commenced at the grocery and “Made in Saudi” consumer goods sections, showcasing the diversity and quality of local brands. It also included the “Made in Saudi” dates pavilion, presenting a premium selection of the finest locally sourced dates in celebration of one of the Kingdom’s most iconic national symbols.
The visit continued to the fruits and vegetables section under the theme “From Our Land,” featuring an exceptional assortment of Saudi agricultural products, reflecting the richness and excellence of the local agricultural sector. Guests also explored the LuLu private label corner, which features products exclusively manufactured within the Kingdom for LuLu, reaffirming the company’s commitment to supporting local manufacturing.
The tour concluded with a presentation of “Made in Saudi” products within the chilled and frozen categories, underscoring the rapid growth and qualitative advancement of the Kingdom’s food manufacturing sector, and further reinforcing the strong market position and competitiveness of Saudi products.
