Coastal Village development is underway to house 14,000 employees and their families

SP: At what stage is the project now in terms of infrastructure, and what is the timeline?

AT: Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the pandemic, we have continued to make significant progress on the ground, and there are 500 contracts worth over SAR 15 billion now awarded to local and international partners.
The 100-hectare Landscape Nursery, the largest in Saudi Arabia, which will provide more than 15 million plants for the destination, has been operational since early 2020. There are more than 6,000 workers currently on-site, and the first 80km of new roads are near complete. The Construction Village, which is set to house 10,000 workers, is already open, and development is also progressing well at the Coastal Village, which will be home to around 14,000 people who will eventually operate the destination. This includes a 3-star management hotel, the first accommodation and our new offices.

Last year, we marked a significant milestone in the construction of our eco-friendly Red Sea International Airport. We awarded a substantial contract to an all-Saudi JV between Nesma & Partners and Almabani for airside infrastructure works ahead of the airport opening in 2022. This includes the design and building of a Code F Runway 3,700 meters long, Code B Seaplane Runway, Parallel & Link taxiways and pavement works, Aeronautical Navigational Aids, Aerodrome Ground Lighting, Airside utilities, helipads, roads and associated buildings.

We have an exciting year ahead at TRSDC. As we move into a post-Covid world, we are creating more partnerships, breaking new ground on-site and continuing to move forward with our plans to welcome the first guests by the end of 2022. Upon completion in 2030, there will be 50 hotels, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000 residences across 22 islands and six inland sites.

Not the most exciting part of the project but very important in the plans for making this project as sustainable as possible for the environment.

WATG’s master plan for The Red Sea Project outlines a cohesive strategy for a single place to deliver unlimited experiences at an extraordinary scale, keeping people coming back for generations. Detailing a new international airport, more than fifty new hotels, and a new town for the 35,000 people who will live and work in the development, the plan provides a road map for the region’s success in the short and long term. Even more critically, the master plan prioritizes environmental impact, and creates natural preserves that allow sensitive marine and terrestrial ecosystems to thrive. The result is a development that is anticipated to create 70,000 new jobs and contribute 22 billion Saudi Riyal to the national economy, without compromising the region’s natural resources.
