“Retal has grown to become one of the most trusted developers of iconic master-planned communities that shape the urban fabric of Saudi. Opening the business to public investors will consummate the process of growth we have undertaken in the last ten years. We are already witnessing a huge demand for high-quality developments in desirable destinations across the country. We anticipate this demand to continue, driven by strong economic trends, favorable long-term demographics, and Saudi’s commitment to transform the real estate landscape and improve the standard of living in the country through the development of real estate laws and regulations. With Retal’s robust strategy, expertise, and financial strength, we are poised to capture these exciting opportunities while delivering excellent value to our shareholders.”

Our potential listing comes at an exceptionally exciting time as we continue to make remarkable strides towards opening up to the world, creating new opportunities, and elevating the lifestyle of every Saudi family as part of the Vision 2030.”
