The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has announced the completion of the master plan for Northeast Riyadh, covering a total area of approximately 456 square kilometers. The strategically located area connects with King Khalid International Airport, AlSulai Valley, Dammam Road, and AlJanadriyah Road.
The master plan establishes a comprehensive vision for land use in the area, grounded in key planning principles. Most notably, these include establishing a long-term urban model that enables phased expansion, designing integrated communities that bring together residential spaces and daily essential services, and maintaining a balanced distribution across residential, economic, recreational, and natural zones, SPA reported.
The development of the master plan forms part of Riyadh’s long-term expansion framework as the capital continues its rapid urban, population, and economic growth. The plan guides one of the city’s primary future growth directions to meet both current and future demands, with a dedicated focus on enhancing quality of life, expanding green spaces, and preserving natural valleys within a balanced and interconnected urban structure.
CEO of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City Eng. Ibrahim Mohammed Al-Sultan expressed his deepest gratitude and appreciation to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and to His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the RCRC, for their unwavering support and care for the capital.
He explained that the initial master plan for Northeast Riyadh represents a pivotal planning milestone in the capital’s overall development trajectory. He emphasized that it reflects the commission’s commitment to anticipating the city’s future needs, guiding its expansion, and preparing long-term blueprints that keep pace with Riyadh’s growth.
The commission clarified that the master plan for Northeast Riyadh represents an initial planning phase rather than the launch of an immediate execution project. Subsequent planning phases and detailed regional blueprints will follow in coordination with relevant entities. Any future updates will be announced through the official channels of RCRC and designated authorities.
