Al Waseel Hills

Riyadh, KSA

Al Waseel Hills is a residential mixed use community set within the Shams Al Riyadh master plan. SABIC’s goal for the project is to create a highly appealing self-sustained community for their employees in Riyadh, which will help attract and retain the best available talent. The design creates well defined neighborhoods interconnected with green networks, and featuring an abundance of parks, playgrounds and multi-use trails which support an interactive and healthy lifestyle. Each of the communities is supported by a vibrant civic and commercial center, where residents can meet for coffee, shop for groceries, drop off dry cleaning, attend a community event or engage in sporting activities.

The project is comprised of Saudi Community and a Expatriate Community consisting of approximately 1074 residential units. Al Waseel Hills will be Riyadh’s premier residential development, featuring world class architecture and amenities.

A unique feature to the site is the central Wadi element that cuts through the middle of the site. This area has been designed as a recreational element consisting of the Wadi Park. This is a linear park encircling both sides of the Wadi which is easily accessible to all residents and features trails, overlook points, amphitheaters, stargazing areas, picnic/play areas, as well as access points to the lower Wadi Park & Natural Trail System

AE7 partners were involved in this project as the managing and design Directors of Stantec’s UAE offices, and managed the Client and team on a daily basis.
