Neom, Saudi Arabia – NEOM offered its first investment opportunity through partnering with two national companies to finance, build and operate the accommodations that will host workers who will move to the site to develop various areas of the NEOM project.  

The awarding of the Construction Village marks an important step in the journey to develop NEOM, the most ambitious project on Earth. Al-Tamimi Group will develop two residential areas within the village with a capacity to house 10,000 residents each. SATCO will build a third one with the same capacity. The two developers will operate the Village for 10 years. 

The construction village will consist of three residential areas for 30,000 residents and will be able to be expanded later as the project develops to accommodate more than 100,000 residents. The developers will build the residential areas with conditions in line with the best international standards for contractors' accommodation as per the IFC (International Finance Corporation).

Residents will be accommodated in living areas built around green spaces comprising orchards, vegetable plots and ornamental gardens. The village will also have waste management and recycling facilities to eliminate the landfill and to protect the environment. In keeping with NEOM's sport-for-all philosophy, residents will enjoy a range of recreation facilities including cricket, soccer fields, tennis, basketball courts, gymnasiums, running tracks, swimming pools and indoor games rooms. 

NEOM, the flagship project of Saudi Arabia's post-oil diversification plan, is being built on a 26,500 square kilometres area in the Northwestern of the Kingdom. It offers unique investment opportunities in economic sectors and real-estate development.
