Moreover, the urban construction sector in Saudi Arabia is the largest contributor to the growth of the industry. The sector has more than 3,000 active projects valued at nearly US$380 billion.

Government initiatives are boosting homeownership rates across the Kingdom

The Saudi Arabian Government introduced various initiatives such as Sakani and Wafi, which are continuing to contribute towards an acceleration in the homeownership rates across the country. The efforts of the government to support the growth of the residential sector are delivering an exceptional active development market. For instance,

  • By the end of 2023, 155,000 new homes are scheduled to be completed across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam Metropolitan Area. Of these 155,000, Riyadh alone will have 100,000 new homes.

    In Q2 2021, the number of residential transactions in Riyadh and Jeddah were up 76.7% and 43.8%, respectively, year-on-year, which shows the strong demand for housing units in the country.
