A brief that keeps the provenance with the number

The brief is assembled live from the same record store the rest of the prototype uses, so it can never contradict the screens. Download it as HTML and print to PDF from your browser.

Published programme position

Paraphrased from the official Diriyah Company website.

Public fact
  • SAR 236bn+

    Total development budget

    Programme-level figure published for the approved Diriyah 1 and Diriyah 2 masterplans.

    Masterplan area

    Diriyah 1 and Diriyah 2 approved masterplans.

  • 28+

    Hotels

    Scope is Diriyah 1 / Diriyah 2 only. Wider reporting that includes Wadi Safar uses a different hotel count — the two are not interchangeable.

    Retail GFA

    Diriyah 1 / Diriyah 2 approved masterplans.

  • 1.6mn+ sqm

    Office GFA

    Residential units

    Diriyah 1 / Diriyah 2 approved masterplans.

9 selected published construction awards total SAR 38.45bn. Coverage is selected public awards tracked in this prototype — not the full Diriyah portfolio. Construction awards and project investment values are shown separately and are never added together. Project investment values, such as the Four Seasons joint development agreement, are reported separately and never added to construction awards.
