The Holy Makkah Municipality (HMM), in collaboration with the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing (MOMAH) and the National Center for Privatization & PPP (NCP), announced the launch of the Expression of Interest (EOI) and Request for Qualification (RFQ) phase for the Joint Development Project on Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Road (Makkah – Alhada), a major mixed-use development opportunity in Makkah.

The project will be implemented through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model under a Build-Own- Operate- Transfer (BOOT) contract with a 30-year term. The private sector partner will be responsible for the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the development. Upon completion of the contract term, the fully operational project will be transferred to HMM.

Strategically located along Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Road (Makkah – Alhada) near the Al Awali District, the government-owned site spans approximately 220,000 square meters and offers direct access to the Holy Mosque while avoiding the congestion of Makkah’s city center. Its proximity to major commercial hubs, landmarks, and planned developments makes it a prime location for large-scale investment. The development will feature a regional shopping mall offering a diverse range of retail, dining, and entertainment options, alongside big-box outlets for home improvement, electronics, furniture, and lifestyle products. It will also include two hospitals, a 200-bed long-term care facility and a 100-bed multi-specialty hospital, complemented by road infrastructure, landscaped open spaces, and parking for approximately 2,800 cars.

Leveraging the expertise of the private sector, this project is expected to enhance Makkah’s infrastructure and improve access to healthcare and commercial services. It will also contribute to the Kingdom’s broader goals by improving services provided for residents and visitors, while expanding non-oil revenue streams in line with Saudi Vision 2030. Local and international investors are invited to visit the NCP website for more information about the project and to request the RFQ document. Interested investors should submit their Statement of Qualification (SOQ) by 27 July 2025 at 3:00 PM, KSA time.
