New Murabba Development Company, a leading urban development destination in Saudi Arabia, is showcasing its transformative vision at the 2024 MIPIM, a prestigious real estate event gathering industry leaders from across the globe taking place on 12-15 March at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France. Under the “Invest Saudi” umbrella, New Murabba Development Company aims to attract international investment and highlight the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to economic diversification.

New Murabba Development Company aims to create the world’s most transformative and modern city centre, which will serve as a model for future urban development and contribute to the city’s evolution in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
As New Murabba prepares for its groundbreaking development, Mukaab, an iconic landmark within the modern downtown district, is undergoing significant progress. Notably, the destination has already excavated over 4 million cubic meters of material. Mukaab will feature the latest innovative technology and will be one of the largest built structures in the world (400 meters in height, width, and length).
New Murabba will offer more than 27 million sq. m of floor area, 119,000 residential units, 9,000 hotel rooms, 980,000 sq. m of retail space, 1.4 million sq. m of office space, 620,000 sq. m of leisure assets, and 1.8 million sq. m of community facilities.
New Murabba’s participation at MIPIM aligns with the Kingdom's ambitious Vision 2030 plan, which aims to diversify the economy, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for its citizens. The destination is expected to attract significant foreign investment, add around $50 billion to the non-oil economy, and create 334,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2030.
“New Murabba represents a pivotal moment in Saudi Arabia’s economic journey,” said Michael Dyke, Chief Executive Officer of New Murabba Development Company. “We are building a future where innovation, sustainability, and cultural vibrancy thrive in harmony.
