Tameer in Ajmakan deal

Dubai, October 10, 2007

A new deal has been signed to design the master plan of Ajmakan Project, one of the biggest real estate projects in Saudi Arabia.

The property alliance that includes the leading property firm in the region "Tameer Holding", the Saudi-based Al Shoula Holding Group and the Land Company for property development and investment, signed the agreement with the Tokyo-based Nikken Sekkei Limited.

The agreement was signed by Karim Jabour, a representative for Tameer and Land Consortium and Nikken Sekkei senior executive officer Takeshi Nakawaki.

Ajmakan is the first project to be launched by "Tameer Holding" in KSA after its alliance with "Al Shoula" and "The Land", and represents the continuous efforts of the firm to execute mega-projects; of which, this will be one of the largest in KSA.

"I can't say anything except that I am so glad to see "Ajmakan" moving step by step towards completion, especially since this mega-project is the fruit of a special alliance between "Al Shoula", "The Land" and "Tameer". It represents the cooperation between UAE and KSA firms where large and leading projects are creating a huge benefit for both countries", said Omar Ayesh, president of Tameer Holding. 

Ajmakan, that was launched last May, is one of the biggest real estate projects in Saudi Arabia and is located in Al Khuzama Quarter, one of Riyadh’s most distinctive areas, on an area of around 1,750,000 sq m, with a total project value of about SR6 billion.

The giant project comprises a fully integrated commercial zone with business centers, elite villas, palaces and a prestigious five-star hotel with advanced facilities.

Furthermore, the commercial zone features a state of the art infrastructure, spacious streets, in addition to other services and facilities introduced to the Kingdom for the first time.

"The property boom KSA is experiencing, encourages us to develop mega projects, and is encouraging us to forge key alliances with huge firms in order for us to successfully compete. Ajmakan, by God willing, will be the gate for more mega projects that add value to the Kingdom's property market”.
