● The world’s largest modern downtown in Riyadh will span 19 square kilometres at the juncture of King Salman and King Khalid highways and will include 104,000 housing units, 9,000 hotel rooms, and 980,000 square meters of commercial space.
● The overall design is reminiscent of old Saudi riverbank towns, with dense clusters of buildings divided by narrow roadways that buffer residents from the blazing sun’s heat.
● To elevate the project to iconic status, a new advanced technological structure is being added to New Murabba in Riyadh. The Mukaab, which means “the cube” in Arabic, is planned to be an impressive 400 meters long, wide, and high.
About the Mukaab:
The Mukaab is probably the highlight of the world’s largest modern downtown, almost to the point of being compared to the iconic Empire State Building in the USA. It will be an immersive site that merges digital and virtual technologies with the newest holographic and will be inspired by the current Najdi architectural style. Mukaab is also dubbed as the everchanging Immersive world.
