Royal Mall auction opens Riyadh retail renewal
An upcoming public auction is scheduled for October 27, 2026, to sell the "Royal Mall" in Riyadh. The commercial property is approximately 20 years old, covering an area of 29,700 square meters in the Al-Ruhamahiyah district. The auction allows for the site’s use to be modified, whether by continuing operation as a shopping center or by partially or fully redeveloping it, in accordance with economic feasibility and urban planning requirements. This comes amid changes in Riyadh's retail market, characterized by increased supply and a shift in mall models toward complexes that combine shopping, entertainment, and dining. It is expected that the auction results will influence the future of older shopping centers in the city, with options ranging from upgrading to complete redevelopment. The competition for this site and its potential remains intense, especially given the rising demand for modern projects featuring "Lifestyle Retail" concepts and higher occupancy rates.
