New Murabba's project rendering
New Murabba Development Co. (NMDC), one of the Public Investment Fund’s (PIF) companies, announced major progress in its new urban destination’s construction, as excavation at the iconic Mukaab project and the surrounding podium sites has reached 86% completion, with over 10 million cubic meters of earth moved.
In a press release picked up by Argaam today, Oct. 15, the company said this milestone underscores the rapid pace of development and strong commitment to delivering the world’s largest, modern downtown.

It also affirmed its commitment to worker safety. “With over three million safe work hours logged to date, the development is a testament to prioritizing the well-being of those helping build Riyadh’s new downtown," read the statement.
New Murabba will also construct a temporary bridge that will serve as a critical enabler, connecting the construction site by crossing King Khalid Road, said CEO Michael Dyke.
This bridge, according to the top executive, will facilitate the ongoing development work and pave the way for the initiation of Mukaab piling in the coming months. The bridge is expected to reduce approximately 800,000 truck movements on public roads for earthworks alone, positively impacting the surrounding infrastructure.
With around 900 workers on-site daily, work is advancing rapidly, bringing the destination closer, he added.
In February 2023, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who is also Prime Minister and NMDC Chairman, announced the launch of NMDC, in a bid to develop the world’s largest modern downtown in Riyadh. This shall contribute to the capital city’s future development, in line with Saudi Vision 2030, according to Argaam's data.
