Al Rajhi Capital and partners invest nearly SAR 1B in three Makkah towers at Masar Destination, advancing Vision 2030 urban development. The project adds residential capacity near the Grand Mosque.
Al Rajhi Capital, in partnership with Umm Al Qura for Development and Construction Co. (Masar) and OSUS Real Estate Co., has bought land within the Masar Destination project in Makkah’s third zone. The three residential towers will cost nearly SAR 1 billion, the companies said in a joint statement Monday.
Masar Destination is one of the largest urban development projects in the holy city, mixing residential and commercial components with hospitality. It sits close to the Grand Mosque, which draws millions of pilgrims each year. The project is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 push to expand religious tourism and upgrade infrastructure around the holy sites.
Yasser Abuateek, CEO of Masar, said the agreements mark a new milestone in the development journey of Masar Destination. "They reflect investor and partner confidence in the opportunities offered by the project," he added. "We remain committed to developing an integrated destination that enhances quality of life while supporting economic and urban development in the Holy Capital."
Hossam Al Basrawi, CEO of Al Rajhi Capital, said the deal reflects his firm's commitment to structuring high-quality investment opportunities that generate sustainable value. "Masar Destination represents an attractive long-term real estate investment opportunity, aided by its strategic advantages and exceptional location in the heart of Makkah," he said.
Anas Al Majed, CEO of OSUS, said his firm aims to deliver a fully integrated residential experience focused on high-quality design and efficient execution. The goal is to meet the aspirations of residents and visitors while enhancing quality of life in Makkah.
The project is expected to deliver modern residential units within a fully integrated urban environment, according to the statement. It supports Masar Destination's vision of developing high-quality projects that cater to residents and visitors, further strengthening Makkah's position as a leading investment and development hub.
Al Rajhi Capital is the investment arm of Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi Arabia's largest listed bank by market value. The firm has been active in structuring real estate funds and participating in large-scale developments across the Kingdom. OSUS Real Estate is a Saudi developer focused on residential and mixed-use projects.
The deal adds to a string of large real estate investments in Makkah, where land prices remain among the highest in the country due to proximity to the Grand Mosque. Developers are racing to add hotel and residential capacity ahead of the expected surge in Umrah and Hajj visitors under the Vision 2030 target of 30 million pilgrims annually by 2030.
No timeline for completion of the three towers was disclosed.
