The Riyadh Municipality issued, in cooperation with the relevant government entities, the “Guideline for the Real Estate Developer and Investor”.

This comes as part of the Municipality’s efforts to provide a unified reference that simplifies procedures, reviews requirements and conditions, and clarifies the steps associated with each path for residential, commercial, industrial, and projects requiring special approvals, thereby contributing to supporting the business environment and enabling developers and investors to make investment decisions based on clear foundations and reliable data, according to a statement.

The guideline consists of five main components: the real estate developer journey, the real estate investor journey, the incentives provided, supporting services, and support and communication entities, allowing beneficiaries to access the essential information related to their projects and become familiar with the sequence of procedures in a clearer and more organized manner.

Moreover, the guideline provides an integrated framework that explains the real estate developer’s journey, enabling beneficiaries to identify the requirements of each stage and the entities related to it, starting from planning raw land, passing through construction projects of various types, and ending with projects that follow special tracks requiring additional procedures or approvals.

The guideline also includes the real estate investor’s journey in the investment opportunities offered by the Riyadh Municipality through the “Furas” platform, starting from the stage of offering opportunities and passing through the stages of awarding and contracting, enabling investors to understand the investment path clearly and become familiar with the mechanisms for applying and contracting for the opportunities available through the platform.
