Emaar's Alabbar eyes Downtown Riyadh project


Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of UAE real estate giant Emaar, is considering building a Downtown project in Riyadh, following the success of a similar development in Dubai.

In an interview with Arabian Business, Alabbar said a site has already been identified and the project. “I’m looking at Saudi Arabia. It’s an interesting site. In Riyadh. [It would be] exactly the same size as Dubai,” he said, without giving details of where and when the possible project could be completed.

Alabbar added that on top of ongoing overseas projects in Cairo, the company is also examining the Turkish and Iraqi markets. “I think Turkey looks quite interesting for us. And definitely, though a smaller size, but Erbil (in Iraqi Kurdistan), is looking good.”
