What Erth does

Erth (legal name: ERTH ALAWOTAN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY) is a privately held Saudi Arabian real estate developer founded in 2014 and headquartered in Riyadh. The company develops residential, commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use real estate projects across five major Saudi markets — Riyadh, Makkah, Jeddah, Al-Madinah, and the Eastern Province — with additional offices in Jeddah and Dammam. Erth's portfolio includes flagship projects such as THEE ERTH (a 4.2 billion SAR mixed-use development in Al Yasmin District, Riyadh with Foster + Partners as lead architect), MASAR-MAAB (a 2 billion+ SAR luxury residential and hospitality project near the Holy Mosque in Makkah), Al Marina (a 3.3 million sqm integrated waterfront community in Dammam with 734 plots), Raffles Hotel and Residences Jeddah, Raffles Residences Jeddah (398 units), EZLA Residence (126 units), Fayan Offices (68 units), and Tamkeen Tower (45,000 sqm of commercial space). Across the portfolio, Erth reports 38,000+ project units and 6+ million square meters of total land area.

Erth monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) one-time property sales and pre-sales of residential and commercial units across its developments; (2) recurring property and facilities management fees on its own and managed assets; and (3) hospitality licensing/royalty-style economics from its branded residences and hotel investments managed under the Accor partnership covering Raffles, Sofitel, and MGallery brands. The company serves three primary customer segments — high-net-worth individuals seeking luxury residential and villa properties (primary), business/corporate tenants needing premium office and mixed-use space, and international hospitality brand partners such as Accor seeking premium locations aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 tourism and pilgrimage growth. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with consumer interest forms indicating budget tiers from 750K SAR to 5M+ SAR for residential products.

The company employs 51–100 people and is led by CEO and Managing Director Saud Abdullah Al-Rajhi (formerly of Al Rajhi Holding Group), COO Nidal Hisham Turjman (formerly Executive Director/Group COO of Palton Morgan Holdings and CEO at Emaar International), and a senior team with prior experience at Emaar Economic City, the Saudi Real Estate Company, and SEDCO Development. Go-to-market combines direct sales via the corporate website and showrooms, an agent network program, enterprise partnerships with international hospitality operators, and multi-channel marketing through social media, WhatsApp, and a media center. The company has no disclosed institutional funding rounds and is associated with Jeddah Central Development Company through its corporate terms.
