ROSHN Launches ALMANAR, Mecca’s First Integrated Community
ROSHN Group, Saudi Arabia’s premier multi-asset real estate developer and a key entity under the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has officially launched initial sales for its flagship residential community, ALMANAR, in Makkah. This milestone marks ROSHN’s first integrated community in the holy city, reinforcing its commitment to redefining modern living with comprehensive lifestyle amenities and sustainable design. Positioned within the Al Haram boundary and just a 20-minute drive from Masjid Al Haram, ALMANAR represents a significant expansion of ROSHN’s footprint in Saudi Arabia’s real estate sector.
The ALMANAR community introduces an initial offering of 727 single-family homes, featuring a diverse range of property types tailored to meet various lifestyle needs. Prospective homeowners can choose from 3- to 4-bedroom townhouses, duplexes, and spacious 4- to 5-bedroom villas, including the developer’s largest C10 villa model. Every residence in ALMANAR is designed with elegance and functionality in mind, boasting stylish kitchens, carefully coordinated color schemes, and convenient covered parking spaces. Interested buyers can explore the community’s layout and home designs at the dedicated ALMANAR showroom located within the local sales center.
Strategically situated next to Makkah Gate, ALMANAR offers unparalleled connectivity and convenience. Its prime location ensures residents are within a short 20-minute commute to Masjid Al Haram, while Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport is accessible in under an hour. This proximity makes ALMANAR an attractive choice for families, professionals, and investors seeking a well-connected and integrated living environment in one of Islam’s most revered cities.
A hallmark of ROSHN’s developments, ALMANAR is designed with a strong emphasis on green living and community engagement. More than 18% of the development’s total land area is dedicated to lush green spaces and open public areas, fostering an environment that encourages social interaction and outdoor activities. Residents will enjoy a well-planned network of walking and cycling paths, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle while enhancing the overall community experience.
Beyond its residential offerings, ALMANAR incorporates an array of vibrant amenities that define ROSHN’s approach to modern urban living. The community will feature a well-integrated retail and commercial sector, offering residents convenient access to shops, dining, and essential services. Additionally, ALMANAR ensures educational and spiritual needs are met with the inclusion of schools, local mosques, and dedicated Jumaa mosques, all strategically located within the neighborhood to enhance accessibility and walkability.
Situated at the western gateway to Makkah, ALMANAR benefits from superior transport links, positioned between the old and new highways connecting the city with Jeddah. This strategic placement not only enhances mobility for residents but also contributes to the broader infrastructural development aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative. By integrating state-of-the-art urban planning with seamless connectivity, ALMANAR aims to set a new benchmark for sustainable and integrated community living in the region.
The architectural inspiration behind ALMANAR draws from the rich heritage of the region, seamlessly blending traditional designs with contemporary materials. The result is a community that respects and preserves the cultural essence of Makkah while embracing modern construction standards. Homes within ALMANAR reflect a harmonious balance between aesthetic appeal and functional living, ensuring that residents experience comfort, convenience, and cultural authenticity in their daily lives.
Sustainability is a core pillar of ALMANAR’s development philosophy. The community incorporates cutting-edge energy-efficient technologies designed to reduce environmental impact and enhance long-term livability. Homes are built with advanced insulation systems and high-efficiency air conditioning, significantly reducing energy consumption. Additionally, innovative water conservation measures are integrated throughout the development, reinforcing ROSHN’s dedication to responsible resource management and sustainable urban growth.
Khalid Johar, Acting CEO of ROSHN Group, emphasized the significance of ALMANAR’s launch in shaping the future of residential living in Makkah. He stated, “We are excited to bring our vision of contemporary, integrated living to Makkah with the introduction of ALMANAR. Our goal is to meet the diverse needs of residents by providing high-quality housing in a vibrant, well-connected community, all while preserving the cultural and spiritual significance of the city. ALMANAR embodies our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community well-being. It reflects our dedication to aligning with Vision 2030’s objectives, particularly in expanding homeownership opportunities and enhancing the quality of life for Saudi citizens.”
