US-based Jacobs Engineering Group said on Tuesday it has been picked to work on a massive real estate project in Saudi Arabia.
It has been selected by Injaz Development Company to provide infrastructure and construction supervision services for its Al Marina project in the kingdom.
Officials at Injaz Development Company, one of the largest real estate developers in Saudi Arabia, did not disclose the contract value.
Jacobs Group vice president Mike Coyle said: “Jacobs is proud to be associated with this state of the art development in Saudi Arabia, and we look forward to establishing a long term partnership with Injaz.”
The Al Marina project is a 36 million square feet development that includes luxury villas, multi-use towers, buildings, coastal houses, hotels, schools, mosques and a variety of public and tourist facilities.
Upon completion, Al Marina will be a new destination between Dammam and Khobar that will rival both in its public facilities, which will include a 300,000 sq m lagoon with elaborate fountains, waterfront shopping mall, open air recreational areas and high-rise commercial strips.
Injaz has previously said that the project will consist of about 636 single-family villas and 15-storey luxury apartment blocks spread over 250 plots.
The total land area for the project is split between residential and commercial (41.4 percent), public spaces (42.2 percent) and government services (16.4 percent).
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers of technical, professional, and construction services.
