ROSHN Group, a subsidiary of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, has laid the foundation stone for the Al-Manar project, its first integrated residential community in Makkah.
The community is only 20 minutes away from the Grand Mosque, less than an hour from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, and two minutes from the western gate of Makkah. It is distinguished by its design inspired by the region’s heritage.
The acting CEO of ROSHN Group, Dr. Khaled Johar, explained that the Al-Manar project extends over an area exceeding 21 million square meters, and includes more than 33,000 housing units, in addition to more than 150 service facilities to meet the needs of residents, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
For his part, the CEO of the Royal Commission for Makkah City and the Holy Sites, Eng. Saleh Al-Rasheed, confirmed that the Al-Manar community is the first integrated project of ROSHN Group in Makkah, and is located within the boundaries of the Haram, at the western gate of the city. He pointed out that the project came with an effective contribution from the Royal Commission, which seeks to facilitate the implementation of qualitative projects with a long-term positive impact.
