Maskan Arabia Investment & Development Company, a major real estate developer, says its Al-Casaba housing project in Riyadh is progressing well.

The project valued at SR300 million, spans an area of 30,000 sqm and is located in Al-Thagar District on Salbouk Road northwest of Riyadh.

Maskan Arabia said prospective owners have two options to choose from in terms of villa sizes: The inner villa has built up area of 500 sqm and the corner villa has 600 sqm. The design models are available in 3D for customers to have a clear-cut view and dimension of the houses.

The Al-Casaba Villas project, which started in May 2014, is set for completion and delivery in March 2016. Currently, 25 percent of the project is already completed, Maskan said.

The project is primarily tailored for Saudi families who aspire for modest yet quality homes.

In line with Islamic customs and traditions, the villas provide owners with utmost privacy. This is evident in the arrangement and separation of entrances and exit gates, as well as the distribution of living rooms, guestrooms, and outdoor areas.

Besides, taking into consideration the importance of privacy as a core value within the Saudi community while at the same time providing residents with all the required comfort, villas within the same area are similarly designed while the spaces are set out between them with no need for separators or partitions.

“The objective of the project is to develop comfortable, safe, elegant, durable and energy efficient homes for Saudi families who dream of living in a quiet and relaxed environment,” Maskan Arabia stated.

Saudi Arabia has seen its residential property market expand rapidly over the last year due to increased demand caused by various government initiatives to boost the housing sector.
