Saudi gigaproject developer Diriyah Company has achieved significant construction progress on its Zallal project, its first commercial project featuring office and retail spaces. Construction works are undertaken by local contractor Nesma & Partners and the project is set for completion in the first half of 2025. US-based engineering firm KEO is the project consultant. Zallal is located in the Bujairi district of the Diriyah Gate project which includes two office buildings spanning 6,000 square metres (sq m) along with 12 retail outlets over an area of 8,000 sq m.  The Diriyah masterplan envisages the city as a cultural and lifestyle tourism destination. Located northwest of Riyadh’s city centre, it will cover 1 square kilometre and will combine 300 years of history, culture and heritage with hospitality facilities. The project will feature entertainment, retail, educational, business and residential areas, including 38 hotels, over 100 food and beverage amenities and several museums. The mixed-use traditional urban community will be created in the Najdi architectural style typical of ancient Saudi villages. The historic city of Al Turaif is the centrepiece of Diriyah. Built in 1766, Al Turaif was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2010. Once complete, Diriyah will have the capacity to house 100,000 residents and visitors.   For registration as supplier: https://www.dgda.gov.sa/pages/procurement.aspx  (ICE RIYADH)
