What is the New Murabba project in Saudi Arabia?

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA),  a new era of innovation, sustainability, and culutral transformation is taking place, driven by the unparalleled proficiency of AtkinsRéalis. The New Murabba project is a cornerstone of Vision 2030, and we're proud to be playing a leading role in bringing this groundbreaking initiative to life. 

Keep reading to delve into the fascinating narrative of the New Murabba project in Saudi Arabia, a venture we're delighted to participate in.

What is New Murabba?

We're deeply embedded in some of the most mbitious urban development projects in Saudi Arabia and the New Murabba project is no exception. As a modern downtown with a seamless blend of sustainability, nature, and innovative technology, New Murabba brings with it the promise of a brighter, greener future. 

Spearheaded by the New Murabba Development Company (NMDC), this futuristic downtown is more than just a place to live and work. It's a place that fuses creativity, progress, and entrepreneurship with nature's beauty and a rich culture. As the new heart of Riyadh, New Murabba city is engineered to be a 15-minute downtown with everything a short walk or ride away.

Nestled deep within the New Murabba district, will be a cube-shaped mega skyscraper called The Mukaab. With the aim of becoming the largest built structure on the planet, the iconic Mukaab is set to measure 400 meters in height, in length, and in width. This architectural phenomenon is inspired by modern Najdi style, complemented by 2 million square meters of floor space.

From urban green spaces and a marvel in modern architecture to cutting-edge flood management systems and car-free zones, this innovative landscape offers a multitude of career avenues for professional growth and advancement. AtkinsRéalis is at the forefront of this transformative project, we're looking for experts to jump on board, helping us pave the way for tomorrow. 

Where will the New Murabba be built? 

New Murabba will rise in the northwest of Riyadh, spanning 19 square kilometres. Officially announced in 2023 by HRH Mohammed bin Salman, the project will transform this part of the capital into a beacon of econmic, cultural, and technological progress. 

Its strategic location and smart urban design will set new standards for how cities evolve, creating a central hub that balances commercial vibrancy with livability and environmental consciousness. 

What is the timeline for the New Murabba project? 

The New Murabba project is scheduled for completion by 2030, perfectly aligned with the objective of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. That means this decade is crucial, presenting a chance to shape the future of Riyadh and contribute to a regional and global legace of progress. 

Our vision and values resonate strongly with the developmental aims for the Riyadh region, and we are actively seeking top-tier talent to contribute to this cause. We're on the lookout for those who are ready to contribute to innovative urban planning, low-carbon design, food resilience systems, and future-ready infrastructure.
