The development will include a state-of-the-art oceanarium, an opera house and a sports stadium, alongside more than 17,000 residential units, 2,700 hotel rooms, a marina, a beach and several green spaces covering about 40 percent of the project area.

Phase one will include the creation of one of the largest public beaches in Jeddah, with a pier, marina, park and playground alongside the promenade, all of which are scheduled for completion by 2027.

Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea port city of Jeddah will soon undergo a major face-lift, thanks to an eagerly awaited redevelopment plan. It aims to transform this coastal jewel into one of the world’s most livable cities by the end of the decade.

Unveiled in December by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the $20 billion Jeddah Central project will revamp and revitalize about 5.7 million square meters of picturesque waterfront, stretching north from Al-Salam Palace to the city’s water-treatment plant.

Phase two, due to be completed by 2030, encompasses a number of key facilities, including green spaces, innovative educational resources, a mosque that will combine both modern and traditional designs, a library, a coral bay, and a smart technology-equipped museum.

According to the project’s website, the third phase, beyond 2030, will further enhance the facilities with the addition of healthcare facilities designed to the highest international standards, while a district centered around innovation and culture will deliver world-class experiences.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has launched the masterplan and main features of the SAR75bn Jeddah Central project.

It will include four landmarks – an opera House, museum, sports stadium and oceanarium, as well as 17,000 residential units, hotel projects that offer more than 2,700 keys, and ‘integrated solutions’ for the business sector. The project will also feature a marina and beach resorts, as well as restaurants, cafes and shopping options. The waterfront will extend 9.5km long with a promenade and a 2.1km long beach. Open spaces and public services will make up 40 per cent of the total project area, with the provision of designated walking areas.

The project will be completed in three phases, the first of which is set to be finished by the end of 2027.
