Saudi real estate developer ROSHN Group has held the groundbreaking ceremony for ALMANAR, its inaugural fully integrated residential community in Makkah.
The ALMANAR community spans 21 million sq m and includes more than 33,000 residential units. Its design aligns with ROSHN’s vision of creating people-centric developments that prioritise residents’ needs, featuring sustainable and vibrant living spaces integrated with nature and expansive green areas.
The community offers seamless access to essential facilities, including schools, mosques, shopping centres and healthcare services. Additionally, vibrant streets, open spaces and recreational areas aim to foster social connections, strengthen community bonds and cultivate a deep sense of belonging.
Strategically located within the boundaries of Saudi Arabia’s Al Masjid Al Haram, the community is just 20 minutes from Al Haram, less than an hour from King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah and two minutes from Makkah Gate.
Its unique design draws inspiration from the region’s traditional architecture while incorporating modern materials, creating a distinctive destination.
Acting CEO of ROSHN Group Dr. Khalid Johar said: “The ALMANAR community in Makkah represents a major milestone in ROSHN’s journey, embodying our ambitious vision to develop integrated and sustainable destinations and communities while honouring the privilege of contributing to the Holy City. At ROSHN, we are proud to introduce a community that meets the aspirations of Makkah’s residents and its visitors, offering a harmonious blend of tranquillity and modern living near Al-Masjid Al-Haram while enriching the overall quality of life in this blessed city.”
