Phase One of the AlUla South urban development programme.
AlUla South begins issuing building permits
01 April 2020
The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has kicked off the first phase of the AlUla South urban development programme by opening up permits for residential and commercial buildings in AlUla South.
AlUla South will be the first stage in the programme to drive sustainable urban development in the area in line with the vision for the AlUla region, said the RCU.
The first phase of building permits will include parts of Alazizia and Alsalam neighbourhoods in the south of AlUla. Landowners in that area will be allowed to build residential or commercial properties, stated the RCU.
A new design studio has also been established – under the supervision of the planning team at the commission – to help the architects of the residents to adopt the new guidelines, while providing expert advice on sustainable urban development, said a top RCU official.
According to CEO Amr AlMadan, the RCU move follows a number of development projects aimed at improving AlUla’s tourism infrastructure, including the expansion of Prince Abdulmajid Airport to welcome 400,000 visitors annually and elevate its status as a logistics hub.
