What Roshn does
ROSHN Group is Saudi Arabia's leading multi-asset class real estate developer and a wholly owned portfolio company of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Kingdom's sovereign wealth fund. Established in 2020 as a key enabler of Saudi Vision 2030, the company develops master-planned residential communities across Riyadh (SEDRA flagship, 30,000+ homes on 20M sqm; WAREFA, 2,380 homes), Jeddah (ALAROUS, 18,000+ homes adjacent to the MARAFY mixed-use waterfront destination with its 11-kilometer canal), Makkah (ALMANAR, 33,000+ homes on 21M sqm), and Dhahran (ALDANAH, 2,576 homes). The combined pipeline targets 400,000+ homes nationally and includes supporting assets such as ROSHN Front (a 100+ retailer mixed-use hub attracting 10M+ annual visitors), a 45,000-seat ROSHN Stadium set to host FIFA World Cup 2034 matches, and King's College at SEDRA, a British-curriculum private school.
Core construction capability is anchored by a strategic partnership with China Harbour to operate one of the Middle East's largest precast concrete factories in Riyadh, enabling industrialized construction at scale with tens of thousands of panels produced monthly. This underpins ROSHN's human-centric urban planning model that integrates residential, retail, hospitality, education, healthcare, and entertainment into cohesive destinations, supported by fibre-optic infrastructure partnerships (Dawiyat) and digital innovation initiatives (ROSHNEXT, ROSHN Hackathon PropTech program).
ROSHN generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time residential property sales (villas, duplexes, apartments) ranging from premium luxury offerings to affordable housing aligned with Vision 2030's 70% homeownership target; land sale and development agreements with sub-developers (Arabian Dyar, Alramz, Tiraz Al Arabia) totaling SAR 2.14B+ in recent transactions; and retail and commercial leasing at ROSHN Front. The go-to-market combines physical sales centers across all four major Saudi cities, online registration via roshn.sa, and major sponsorships (LIV Golf Riyadh 2026 title partnership, Saudi Professional League). Funding is anchored by a SAR 9B syndicated revolving credit facility from six Saudi banks plus a ~$533M Saudi National Bank round, with 70% Saudization, 52% local content score, and 71% local supplier procurement demonstrating alignment with national localization objectives.
