Riyadh is set to become one of the top 15 fastest-growing cities by 2033, driven by a remarkable 26% increase in population and significant government investments in infrastructure!

According to the Savills Growth Hubs Index, Riyadh stands out as the only non-Asian city on this prestigious list. This projection aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 program, which aims to transform Riyadh into a vibrant residential and business center, diversifying the economy away from oil dependency.

The anticipated population surge in Riyadh is staggering, expected to grow from 5.9 million to 9.2 million over the next decade. This rapid growth is not just about numbers but also about improving the quality of life and expanding services and amenities to accommodate this boom. The city’s infrastructure is evolving at a fast pace, with new developments and projects popping up, making Riyadh a hotspot for both residents and businesses.

One of the key drivers of Riyadh’s growth is the burgeoning office market, fueled by the influx of regional headquarters!
