The ambitious project covers a vast area of 384,000 sqm and has been divided into two distinct phases. Phase I created a unique city within a city, drawing in renowned businesses to thrive and flourish.

From global corporations such as Amazon, Orange, SABIC, Siemens, Saudi Jordanian Investment Fund, Cementra, and Bigo the vibrant ecosystem has nurtured a diverse range of businesses and ventures.
At the centre of the project lies The Boulevard, a vibrant promenade that caters to visitors, residents, and tourists alike. This lively destination offers an abundance of shops, cafes, restaurants, and entertainment options that have made it the go-to place for any major celebration or holiday.
