KSA: Qiddiya Announces Progress, Readiness of New Offices Complex

The Qiddiya Development, the developmental branch of Qiddiya Investment, announced the readiness of the first part of its new offices complex ahead of schedule.

Qiddiya Development is tasked with designing and operating the largest entertainment giant complex for sports, arts, and entertainment in the region.

This progress comes in the midst of a number of accomplishments during 2019 including the reveal of the project’s general plan, launch of “Six Flags Qiddiya” design, and the initiation of the first construction phase.

The 21,000 square meters-new offices complex will hire approximately 150 employees working on the completion of the first phase of Qiddiya, scheduled for 2023.

The new offices complex, near the visitors’ center at Qiddiya, was developed by Dubox, an Amana company subsidiary. It will be the first batch of offices to be built on the Qiddiya site, which is expected to become the capital of entertainment, sports, and arts in Saudi Arabia.

The complex will include a backyard with outdoor seating, shaded parking, and a range of service facilities.

The offices’ interior design embodies a wonderful masterpiece designed by Saudi people and inspired by the cultural and creative spirit that characterizes the company’s main offices in Riyadh.

Saudi artists Sarah al-Juhani and Nou Ghamshi were chosen to supervise the design in a contemporary style, and the office was officially inaugurated on Dec. 11, where 12 Qiddiya employees were honored for their efforts in establishing the complex.

Chief development officer of the entertainment, sports and cultural destination of the Qiddiya Investment, Kareem Shamma, noted that these offices are important because they reflect the cultural and creative spirit of Qiddiya.

He indicated that they also represent a distinct work environment in which all the elements are available to enable the employees to accomplish their tasks in preparation for the launch of the first phase of the project.

“We are proud of our leadership in providing an ideal working environment and opening the new office ahead of time.”

Employees and staff members will gradually move from the company’s headquarters in Riyadh to the new complex at the project site to ensure a smooth transition.

The first batch of offices is located on the lower side of Qiddiya, and a second complex will be established on the upper side and is scheduled to be inaugurated in August 2020.

Deputy Governor of the Makkah Region Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz inspected the readiness of the Grand Mosque and its facilities, conducting a field tour to review operational and service preparations for receiving worshippers and Umrah performers during the holy month of Ramadan, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

Prince Saud was briefed on the operational plans implemented by the relevant authorities, including crowd management mechanisms, service enhancements, and facility preparations aimed at ensuring smooth movement and enhancing comfort and safety levels for visitors to the Grand Mosque, particularly during peak times.

He reviewed developmental initiatives and smart services supporting the operational system, notably electric mobility carts for transporting the elderly, persons with disabilities, and those in need of assistance within the Grand Mosque.

The tour also included an overview of the efforts of guidance teams deployed across the corridors and courtyards of the Grand Mosque, providing multilingual assistance and direction.

Prince Saud reviewed the interactive map and digital mobility platform, which allows visitors to plan their routes in advance and identify service locations, entrances and exits, and less crowded pathways.

He was briefed on crowd management systems, including the visitor density sensor platform that measures human density in real time, and the Tawaf and Sa’i crowd status display service, which allows worshippers to select appropriate times to perform rituals with ease. Models of the modern multilingual guidance system were also reviewed.

Prince Saud also visited the Smart Engineering Command and Control Center, which serves as an advanced central platform linking operational systems and monitoring performance in real time, boosting operational efficiency and raising readiness levels during Ramadan.
