Royal Mall Auctions for Development
The announcement has been made regarding the sale of "Royal Mall," one of the commercial centers located in Al-Rahmaniya neighborhood in Riyadh, through an open auction and an electronic bid on October 27, 2026. The purpose of the sale is to leverage the strategic location of the mall, which is situated on King Fahd Road near major intersections, with potential for redevelopment and more intensive utilization, especially in light of urban transformations happening in Riyadh. The mall covers a total area of approximately 29,700 square meters, consisting of two floors: the first floor houses around 80 retail stores, jewelry shops, and textile outlets, while the second includes civil status and real estate registration departments. Estimates indicate that the site is gaining investment management value, particularly given its proximity to skyscrapers exceeding 40 floors, opening possibilities for higher-density redevelopment or the construction of a skyscraper. Experts, such as Abdelrahman Al-Yousef, confirm that the strategic location offers an opportunity for investors to either continue its current operations or pursue redevelopment, especially as demand increases for utilizing the city's vertical growth trend. Additionally, re-developing old buildings within Riyadh is seen as a way to rejuvenate the city and make optimal use of high-value sites, amid a growing trend towards multi-purpose projects that go beyond traditional shopping layouts to include entertainment and other facilities.
