Al Khozama Management Company (AKMC) will be offering management and technical support to Durrat Arriyadh, the first gated residential neighborhood in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The residential development will incorporate the highest standards of architecture, design, construction and landscaping. Covering a vast area of over three million square metres, the Durrat Arriyadh development is due for completion in the first quarter of 2010. It will offer an exclusive lifestyle to 6,700 select residents, with a wide range of premium facilities that include schools, playgrounds, mosques and shops, all set in lush rolling parkland with panoramic views over the Central Garden. “Investing in and managing Durrat Arriyadh comes in line with our strategy to manage and invest in the hospitality sector across Saudi Arabia,” said Musaed Al Saeed, CEO of Al Khozama Management Company. “The project arises from our vision and aspiration to build a green healthy community, as part of our commitment towards the future of the Kingdom.” At the heart of the development will be the 114,000 square meter Durrat Arriyadh Hotel & Resort, with three signature indoor and outdoor restaurants, as well as 28 private, lavishly appointed villas. Al Khozama Management Company has been at the forefront of commercial property development and management across the Kingdom since 1995 and boasts a diverse portfolio that includes some of the country's most iconic hospitality, retail and mixed-used complexes. “We are pleased to be part of this unique concept, which represents a green-living community; which highlights our dedication to perfecting the life experience through continuous innovation and the highest standards of hospitality,” Al Saeed added.
