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.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) established a new emergency camp in the central Gaza Strip, providing immediate shelter with more than 250 tents for hundreds of recently displaced families. The move is part of the ongoing Saudi fundraising campaign to aid the Palestinian people.

Overseen by the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s implementing partner, the camp was fast-tracked to support families whose temporary shelters were destroyed by recent severe weather, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.

Field reports indicate that heavy storms and flooding have decimated hundreds of tents across the region, significantly worsening the already dire humanitarian crisis.

Affected families expressed their gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, describing the aid as a "lifeline" that restored a sense of security. Families noted that the new shelters have provided vital protection against the harsh winter conditions and volatile weather that had previously left them exposed during an arduous period of hardship.

This initiative is a continuation of the Kingdom’s steadfast commitment to the Palestinian people. By providing essential relief and high-quality shelter, KSrelief aims to alleviate the suffering of families facing unprecedented humanitarian challenges.
