Cenomi Centers' Westfield Jeddah enters operations at 96% pre-leasing, targeting SAR 350 million in annual EBITDA once stable. First Saudi mall with LEED Gold certification.
Cenomi Centers has started operations at its Westfield Jeddah mall, with the project nearly fully leased before opening.
Arabian Centres Co., which operates as Cenomi Centers, said the mall received its occupancy certificate and entered the operational phase on July 30. In a statement to Tadawul on Aug. 4, the company reported a pre-leasing rate of almost 96%. Cenomi is working with tenants to finish their unit fit-outs ahead of commercial opening.
Once Westfield Jeddah reaches stable operations, the company expects it to contribute about SAR 350 million in additional EBITDA each year, boosting net profit and cash flow.
Cenomi described the mall as a landmark for Jeddah's retail sector. The company expects it to draw heavy foot traffic and become the first mall in the kingdom to receive LEED Gold certification. The project also includes what Cenomi called the first internationally branded luxury wing of its kind in Saudi Arabia, alongside retail, entertainment, and dining tenants.
The company first announced the Jawharat Jeddah project in 2019 as a retail and entertainment destination in northern Jeddah. In 2024, it signed an agreement with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and renamed the project Westfield Jeddah, making it the first shopping mall in Jeddah to carry the global Westfield brand.
