Keep reading to delve into the fascinating narrative of the New Murabba project in Saudi Arabia, a venture we’re delighted to participate in.
What is New Murabba?
As a modern downtown with a seamless blend of sustainability, nature, and innovative technology, New Murabba brings with it the promise of a brighter, greener future.
Spearheaded by the New Murabba Development Company (NMDC), this futuristic downtown is more than just a place to live and work. It’s a place that fuses creativity, progress, and entrepreneurship with nature's beauty and a rich culture. As the new heart of Riyadh, New Murabba city is engineered to be a 15-minute downtown with everything a short walk or ride away.
Nestled deep within the New Murabba district, will be a cube-shaped mega skyscraper called The Mukaab. With the aim of becoming the largest built structure on the planet, the iconic Mukaab is set to measure 400 meters in height, in length, and in width. This architectural phenomenon is inspired by modern Najdi style, complemented by 2 million square meters of floor space.
From urban green spaces and a marvel in modern architecture to cutting-edge flood management systems and car-free zones, this innovative landscape offers a multitude of career avenues for professional growth and advancement. AtkinsRéalis is at the forefront of this transformative project, we’re looking for experts to jump on board, helping us pave the way for tomorrow.
Where will the New Murabba be built?
Situated in northwest Riyadh and expected to span 19 square kilometers, the new city district announced in 2023 is a breakthrough in modern engineering. Unveiled by HRH Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, the Riyadh region is sure to be revolutionized with the addition of New Murabba and the Mukaab.
What is the timeline for the New Murabba project?
As part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision2030 project, this gateway to another world is a premium destination full of marvels and innovation. The project is set to be completed in 2030, marking a new era for the region's development, greener focus, and economic prosperity.
