Al Zahraa: A Unique Residential Development in Jeddah

Creating a New Experience in the Heart of the City

One of the main hubs of commerce and vehicular traffic within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jeddah has lately become a major residential district throughout the kingdom. Al Zahra Development Project, designed by Badih and Kantar Architects, has been conceived as a new experience in the heart of the city, offering a unique living environment for its residents.

Divided into two main plots, Al Zahraa features long strips of narrowly attached residential units that create a non-repetitive composition of positive and negative blocks of solid sheets. This design provides privacy and front buffering gardens, protecting the houses from being exposed to the main traffic. The client's main target was to provide small families and expats with their daily needs, from privacy to relaxation and public interaction. Al Zahraa offers a unique introverted landscape that is easily accessible from all units.

Located at one of the major crossings between King Abdul Aziz and Al Baturji roads, Al Zahraa is situated in a large district that can accommodate most urban facilities, ranging from residential and commercial to religious entities and hospitalization centers. This development project aims to create a vibrant community that offers convenience and a high quality of life to its residents.

The construction of Al Zahraa is set to begin in 2016, with an expected delivery in 2018. This modern residential development will contribute to the growth and transformation of Jeddah into a thriving residential district.

Recognized for its outstanding design, Al Zahraa was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2016 in the category of Architecture, Building, and Structure Design. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Al Zahraa's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics make it a standout project that contributes to a better world.
