ROSHN Group has announced the inauguration of their latest project, ALMANAR, which represents both their fifth integrated mixed-use development and their inaugural undertaking in the city of Makkah.
The initial segment of ALMANAR is set to offer 4,149 residential units capable of accommodating upwards of 17,000 residents, all spanning a vast 2.5 million square meter area.
Strategically positioned at the western entrance of Makkah, ALMANAR is nestled between the historical and contemporary expressways that connect the city to Jeddah, providing easy access to the Holy Mosque within a mere 20 minutes and to King Abdulaziz Airport in less than an hour.
The community will boast a plethora of facilities, including a significant regional shopping mall, complemented by eight local commercial hubs, a business park to spur economic growth, and multiple mosques for spiritual needs.
With options ranging from 3 to 5-bedroom townhouses, duplexes, and villas, ROSHN provides diverse residential choices within ALMANAR. The architecture of the community takes cues from the Western Province’s rich legacy, showcasing elaborate ornamental patterns that marry historical aesthetics with contemporary design to symbolize the fusion of Makkah’s deep-rooted culture with its boundless future prospects.
In its commitment to eco-friendliness and aesthetic appeal, the development dedicates 12% of its expanse to verdant, open spaces designed for leisure and relaxation.
ROSHN prioritizes the health and wellness of its communities by integrating shaded pathways conducive to walking, biking, and various sports activities, thus facilitating effortless access to the community’s comprehensive amenities.
ALMANAR is designed to harmonize with the surrounding natural terrain, featuring winding wadis that traverse the residential areas. This ecological integration not only respects the native environment but also fosters the preservation of local wildlife and plant species within these verdant passageways.
Moreover, the houses in ALMANAR will be equipped with state-of-the-art energy-efficient features, including advanced insulation techniques, solar-powered water heating systems, and optimized air-conditioning units.
Embracing the shift towards electric vehicles, ROSHN is furthering its environmental initiatives by fitting many residences with electric vehicle charging stations, thus championing its vision for a more sustainable society.
