Versatile begins stone consultancy work at Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya City
The city conceived entirely around the Power of Play, Qiddiya will come up over a sprawling 360sqkm area in the Tuwaiq Mountains
Versatile International, the first fully integrated stone project management consultancy in the Middle East region, said it has started delivering end-to-end stone project management consultancy services for Qiddiya City coming up in Saudi Arabia.
The world’s first city conceived entirely around the Power of Play, Qiddiya will come up over a sprawling 360sqkm area in the Tuwaiq Mountains.
It will also boast a range of theme parks including Six Flags Qiddiya City (home to the record-breaking Falcons Flight coaster), Aquarabia (Saudi Arabia’s first dedicated water park), and the world’s only Dragon Ball Theme Park and also the Gaming & Esports District.
The project includes extensive residential, retail, and hotel construction. When complete, it will be home to 500,000 residents and welcome more than 40m visitors a year.
A key highlight of the project is the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium, which is designed for major events like the 2034 FIFA World Cup, as well as a Performing Arts Centre and the Mercedes-AMG World of Performance.
The contract was awarded by Saudi PIF unit Qiddiya Investment Company to Versatile International for the global destination.
A unit of leading Australian real estate development and construction company Versatile Group, it was launched 6-years ago in the region with offices in Dubai and Riyadh to provide asset developers with supply chain certainty, risk mitigation and procurement excellence in natural stone for destination-scale developments.
Strategically located approximately 40-minutes from Riyadh, the mega project underscores the firm’s growing presence in Saudi Arabia and its role in delivering specialist stone consultancy for complex, large-scale developments, he added.
