The Mega Developers: Dar Al-Arkan

Saudi Arabia is undergoing a massive real estate development boom! Saudi even has the largest Mega Project in the world being developed with the $125Billion King Abdullah Economic City! The future for real estate development in Saudi Arabia looks very bright indeed. One of the largest Saudi Mega Developers is Dar Al-Arkan. Interestingly enough, the focus of Dar Al-Arkan is not on the ultra luxury projects that so many Mega Developers are building, but on more reasonably priced developments:

'The company had a strong start having one objective in mind: to be a first home provider for Saudi middle class families. Owing it to the rising real estate development in The Kingdom, the company worked hard to provide end products armed with international standards, at reasonable cost. The company offered a new and improved philosophy regarding the world of modern and futuristic civilization; offering several projects and residential plans tailored to fit society’s needs,' according to Dar Al-Arkan.

By 2009 Dar Al-Arkan will have an estimated 65,000 residential units built for all major regions of Saudi Arabia. All units are designed with both high quality and affordability in mind. Dar Al-Arkan has offices all over Saudi Arabia: Riyadh, Khobar, Makkah, Jeddah, Madinah, and Yanbu.
