Saudi Arabia’s Adeer Real Estate Company has put up for auction a property belonging to the struggling Saudi Oger.

The land spans approximately 484,000 square meters in the capital, Riyadh.

Adeer set March 28 as the deadline for receiving bids on the Hateen Palaces lands. They will be announced on March 31.

CEO of Adeer Mutab Al Saad said real estate in Riyadh is one of the best investments in the country since the capital is constantly developing and attracting mega-projects, making it a destination for global companies.

Development projects in Riyadh, which are part of Vision 2030, aim to bolster the capital’s position as a prime destination for investment, by supporting its human potential and construction and economic foundations, with the aim of transforming it into one of the best cities in the world in terms of quality of life, he added.

Heteen Palaces, he continued, are one of the most promising investment projects in Riyadh given their strategic location in one of its most upscale and vibrant neighborhoods.

Gold prices firmed on Monday, although trading was thin due to the holiday season and as investors looked for cues on the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory for next year after it signaled gradual easing in its latest meeting.
Spot gold added 0.3% at $2,628.63 per ounce, as of 0941 GMT, trading in a narrow $16 range. US gold futures eased 0.1% to $2,643.10.
"(It's a) Quiet day with lower liquidity and limited data releases during the holiday season," said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo.
"We retain a constructive outlook for gold in 2025, targeting a move to $2,800/oz by mid-2025."
The Fed cut rates by 25 basis points on Dec. 18, although the central bank's predictions of fewer rate cuts in 2025 resulted in a decline in gold prices to their lowest level since Nov. 18 last week.
US consumer spending increased in November, supporting the Fed's hawkish stance, a sentiment that was also shared by San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly.
Higher interest rates dull non-yielding bullion's appeal.
"Presently, we are in a lull for Christmas week with the gold price trending sideways. Federal Reserve policy is clear with expectations of rising interest rates in the second half of the year," said Michael Langford, chief investment officer at Scorpion Minerals.
"The next big impact is the incoming presidency of (Donald) Trump and the initial presidential decrees that he might declare. This has the potential to add to market volatility and be bullish for gold prices."
Gold, often considered a safe-haven asset, typically performs well during economic uncertainties.
Spot silver rose 0.8% to $29.75 per ounce and platinum climbed 1.3% to $938.43. Palladium steadied at $920.53.
