Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF)-backed real estate firm Saudi Real Estate Company (Al Akaria) has issued a tender inviting contractors to bid for a contract to build its Porta Jeddah project in Jeddah. The mixed-use development has a built-up area of approximately 123,000 square metres (sq m) and includes the construction of a four-star hotel, an office building, two retail and food and beverage buildings, a leisure and cinema building, open areas and other associated infrastructure. The project is located within the Al Nahda district of Jeddah. The tender was issued on 21 February. The deadline for bid submissions is 4 April. London-headquartered architectural firm Chapman Taylor is the project architect. Jeddah-based firm Burouj Engineering Consultant is the project consultant. In June last year, Al Akaria signed an agreement with US-based hotel operator Hilton to operate and manage the Canopy by Hilton hotel within the Porta Jeddah development. The property will have 183 keys and will include 55 serviced apartments along with several retail outlets, meeting spaces, leisure and sports facilities.   For more information: https://www.chapmantaylor.com/projects/porta-jeddah (ICE RIYADH)
