    Jeddah Tower Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Jeddah Tower Jeddah, Saudi Arabia At over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and a total construction area of 530,000 square meters (5.7 million square feet), Jeddah Tower— formerly known as Kingdom Tower—will be the centerpiece and first construction phase of the $20 billion Kingdom City development in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea. SERVICES Expected to cost $1.2 billion to construct, Jeddah Tower will be a mixed-use building featuring a luxury hotel, office Architecture space, serviced apartments, luxury condominiums and the world’s highest observatory. Jeddah Tower’s height will be Interior Design at least 173 meters (568 feet) taller than Burj Khalifa, which was designed by Adrian Smith while at Skidmore, Owings Master Planning & Merrill. CLIENT AS+GG’s design for Jeddah Tower is both highly technological and distinctly organic. With its slender, subtly Jeddah Economic Company asymmetrical massing, the tower evokes a bundle of leaves shooting up from the ground—a burst of new life that FUNCTION heralds more growth all around it. This symbolizes the tower as a catalyst for increased development around it. Mixed use The sleek, streamlined form of the tower can be interpreted as a reference to the folded fronds of young desert plant FACTS growth. The way the fronds sprout upward from the ground as a single form, then start separating from each other at 1,000+ m height the top, is an analogy of new growth fused with technology. 530,000 sm area While the design is contextual to Saudi Arabia, it also represents an evolution and a refinement of an architectural continuum of skyscraper design.
  • Saudi Arabia 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Riyadh

    Saudi Arabia 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Riyadh

    Saudi Arabia 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Riyadh This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Saudi Arabia at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to terrorism. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Saudi Arabia-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is minimal risk from crime in Riyadh. Crime in Saudi Arabia has increased over recent years but remains at levels far below most major metropolitan areas in the United States. Criminal activity does not typically target foreigners and is mostly drug-related. For more information, review OSAC’s Report, Shaken: The Don’ts of Alcohol Abroad. Cybersecurity Issues The Saudi government continues to expand its cybersecurity activities. Major cyber-attacks in 2012 and 2016 focused on the private sector and on Saudi government agencies, spurring action from Saudi policymakers and local business leaders. The Saudi government, through the Ministry of Interior (MOI), continues to develop and expand its collaboration with the U.S.

    OSAC Country Security Report Saudi Arabia

    OSAC Country Security Report Saudi Arabia Last Updated: August 10, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication indicates travelers should not travel due to COVID-19. The advisory further highlights that travelers should reconsider travel due to the threat of missile and drone attacks on civilian facilities. Exercise increased caution due to terrorism. Do not travel to within 50 miles of the Yemeni border, including Abha, Jizan, Najran, Khamis Mushait, and the Abha airport due to missile and drone attacks; and terrorism. In addition, do not travel to Qatif in the Eastern Province and its suburbs, including Awamiyah due to terrorism. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Saudi Arabia 125 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a Low state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Riyadh as being a LOW-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Saudi Arabia. Emergency contact information differs in regions and cities. In the Riyadh and Makkah regions, call 911 police and fire department/civil defense. Elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, call 999 for police and 998 for the fire department/civil defense. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Crime in Saudi Arabia has increased over recent years, but remains at levels far below most major metropolitan areas in the United States.

REAL ESTATE PRICES HAVE • Major Catalyst is Mortgage Law: All real estate stocks will benefit from the passing of a mortgage law, STABILISED 42 which we expect will happen in the next twelve months. Currently there is limited mortgage financing V. CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAVE available, as the lack of a regulatory framework is a major obstacle, particularly on MODERATED 44 enforcement/foreclosure. Companies like Dar Al-Arkan and Akaria are likely to benefit the most from the VI. OFFICE SPACE IN DEMAND, BUT new law, given their residential focus. We expect a very strong rally in the real estate sector when the law COULD BE REACHING RETAIL passes. OVERSUPPLY 45 VII. MORTGAGE & DEVELOPMENT • Initiating with ST/LT Buy on Akaria: Akaria is our favourite developer.

    FY2018 Feasibility Study Report for Overseas Deployment of High Quality Infrastructure System (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, etc. : Feasibility Study for Diffusion of the Water Reclamation System) March 2019 Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Contractor : Kobelco Eco-Solutions Co., Ltd. Chiyoda Corporation Sankyu Inc. Introduction The Saudi government has set out “Saudi Vision 2030,” a growth strategy to achieve comprehensive development independently of oil dependency. Our country, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, formulated and announced in 2017 “Japan-Saudi Vision 2030” with the basic directionality of bilateral cooperation and the concrete project list. Under the vision, high-quality water infrastructure is a key area for cooperation between the two countries, and a memorandum of cooperation on seawater desalination and RO reclaimed water has been signed between the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture of Saudi Arabia. In the memorandum, the promotion of the demonstration project of reclaimed water system in Dammam I of Saudi Industrial Property Authority (MODON) and the diffusion of the technology are mentioned. Based on the results of implementation of the demonstration project in Dammam I, the feasibility of application of reclaimed water system (which produces the RO reclaimed water by way of biological and membrane treatment) to the countries such as Saudi Arabia shall be studied in this project from the viewpoints of market, technology and policy in accordance with the memorandum of understanding entered into between MODON and the consortium (Chiyoda Corporation and Kobelco Eco-Solutions Co., Ltd.). In this project, after conducting the market survey research on the business environment and potential customers in Saudi Arabia, etc, we examined the technical application of the reclaimed water system.
