Under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Municipalities and Housing, Majid bin Abdullah Al-Hogail, and with broad participation from government agencies, major real estate companies, developers, and investors from inside and outside the Kingdom, the activities of the thirty-fifth session of the Restatex Riyadh Real Estate Exhibition were held from February 11 to February 14, 2026.
This year’s exhibition witnessed a qualitative addition with the launch of the first edition of the PropNext Forum, which comes as a specialized intellectual platform to discuss the most prominent issues related to the real estate sector, including legislation regulating the market, financing tools, investment attractiveness, and modern real estate development trends, through dialogue sessions in which an elite group of specialists and decision-makers from the public and private sectors participate.
Sheikh Al-Qatami: A special relationship that lasted 35 years
Sheikh Nasser Al-Qatami said: "This exhibition is undoubtedly an indication of the continuation of this great good that the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Highness the Crown Prince, may God protect them, have planted in this giving and growth that the Kingdom has witnessed since its founding, and today it expresses this movement with this exhibition and similar real estate and economic exhibitions.
Al-Qatami stated that this exhibition has a special character because it was established 35 years ago, and there is no doubt that this indicates that our country is one of the biggest supporters in adopting projects whose impact extends to large cities, especially those that wear the abaya and Saudi identity.
He continued: "Today we are here representing Maamar Al-Mamlakah Company, which specializes in residential development within the Kingdom, in the Riyadh region and beyond. An agreement was signed with the Basht platform, which is for partnership and integration between real estate developers and landowners to develop residential and commercial lands within and beyond Riyadh."
Al-Qatami added: "What is happening today in the real estate market in terms of a cautious decline in property prices is a natural effect of the corrective process for which royal directives were issued. Riyadh, in particular, is a rapidly growing city and requires stability and balance in real estate prices. Today it has become a global economic and tourist city targeting foreigners before others, and there must be great stability in real estate market prices and natural growth. Therefore, this is a natural corrective process."
Mohammed Al-Faraj: We aim to attract foreign investors
Mohammed Hussein Al-Faraj, CEO of Ramatan, the owner of Restatex Real Estate Exhibitions, said that we have been going through a transformation phase in the real estate sector for 35 years, since the beginning of the Restatex Real Estate Exhibition, which during these years in which we organized exhibitions between Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province kept pace with Vision 2030 through the signing of agreements and the real estate projects offered.
Al-Faraj added, "We are a purely Saudi exhibition and are considered the first Saudi real estate exhibition in the Kingdom." He continued, "The entry of foreign investors into real estate investment is beneficial to the Kingdom's economy, especially since real estate is a cornerstone of the national economy. We are specifically targeting this point, and as organizers of real estate development companies, we seek to benefit the nation and the Saudi citizen by providing a real estate platform that brings together everyone—developers, consumers, and investors. This is undoubtedly in everyone's interest and in the interest of the national economy."
Raed Al-Shalwan: Providing affordable real estate for everyone
Raed Al-Shalwan said that the Restatex exhibition is excellent for providing real estate within reach of customers and those wishing to own a home for life. There is great competition to gain the satisfaction of the consumer first and foremost, and we see a very large demand for off-plan sales products and others. This is an extension of Vision 2030, which seeks to provide housing products at prices suitable for everyone after the issuance of decisions that contributed to this.
Al-Shalwan confirmed that the prices offered at the exhibition are reasonable; for example, there are apartments starting at 990,000 and townhouses at 1.7 million, and these are all in the north of Riyadh, and the areas start from 143 m2 and 150 m2 and more, and I see that now is the time for proper ownership in light of the decline and stability of prices in some areas.
Nawaf Al-Shammari: A variety of offers to suit all customers
Nawaf Al-Shammari stated that Restatex is an honorable real estate platform with the participation of real estate companies and developers, and this large group of booths offers various products of residential units that meet the citizen’s need to obtain a home for life.
Regarding the reason for his visit, Al-Shammari said that the search for suitable housing prompted him to visit the exhibition. He mentioned that the prices inside the exhibition were reasonable, as there are companies that meet your needs in obtaining your first home, according to your financial ability and market prices. All the companies here have provided all the options for customers so that they can obtain the housing unit at reasonable prices. This is a wonderful and beautiful thing, especially after the support of the wise leadership in setting laws and controls related to prices, and without a doubt, it had a great impact on the demand for purchasing housing units in various regions of the Kingdom.
Mazen Al-Jalfi: A beautiful and well-organized exhibition that meets the needs of visitors.
Mazen Al-Jalif, one of the visitors to the Restatex exhibition, expressed his happiness with this visit, explaining that the exhibition was beautiful and well-organized to meet the requirements of the visitors, and that there is a recession in real estate prices and this is an opportunity for those who want to buy. He mentioned that he is one of the beneficiaries of the Ministry of Housing’s products in Al-Fursan suburb, which has all the required integrated services, including schools, mosques, markets, and others.
Al-Jalfi called on everyone to visit the exhibition in the coming years, as it is a great opportunity for those wishing to own a residential unit at reasonable prices, especially since companies offer exclusive and attractive prices at the exhibition so that everyone can obtain the residential unit that suits him.
Abdulrazzaq Al-Anzi: Excellent discounts from banks and developers
For his part, Abdulrazzaq Al-Anzi explained that the turnout he witnessed was excellent on a huge real estate platform that includes many distinguished real estate companies offering beautiful residential units. He noted that all participating companies offer reasonable prices and excellent discounts for banks and real estate developers. Al-Anzi mentioned that one bank offers a rate of 3.59% for the real estate product, and if there is an additional personal loan, the rate reaches 3.74% over twenty years, which may be attractive to those who want to buy now.
Al-Anzi explained that if the circumstances are suitable for a person in terms of financial ability, why not buy? It is ultimately an asset and has its value and price. Through the "Amlak" real estate newspaper, I urge everyone looking for a property to take advantage of such real estate opportunities and see what products are offered that may meet their need for housing at prices that they may not find again, especially at the Restatex real estate exhibition.
Zuhair Abu Azizah: An important platform for showcasing real estate products
Engineer Zuhair Abu Azizah, Director of Project Management at Hamad Bin Mohammed Bin Saeedan Real Estate Company, said that Restatex is one of the most important real estate exhibitions and is considered a benchmark for all real estate professionals in the market for the entire calendar year. The exhibition enjoys momentum and interest from most of those interested in off-plan sales, as well as showcasing their real estate products. Thanks be to God, we were successful in participating in the field of real estate development and modern technologies in property management through the Protech Company. Thanks be to God, there is a great turnout and very clear interest from all those interested in real estate, whether in exchanging experiences and operations between real estate developers or even in the open spaces for other sectors such as contracting and engineering consulting.
Abu Azizah emphasized that the Restatex exhibition represents a communication area between the real estate developer and all service providers, and through the "Amlak" real estate newspaper, he expressed his gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Crown Prince, may God protect them, for all the decisions issued to stabilize prices in the real estate sector, which were stimulating and positive and invited new categories to enter the real estate market.
Abu Azizah concluded by saying: “Buying property and a house is a decision that does not require much thought. It is a decision that a young man should make at the beginning of his life and own property, which is the first step to give him a better life and greater stability. We wish everyone success.”
Ahmed Al-Kurdi : Great turnout documents the success story
Ahmed Al-Kurdi of Assas Real Estate Company said that the large turnout of real estate companies at the Restatex exhibition is evidence of its success and its focus on facilitating ways for beneficiary clients to obtain residential products for housing or investment in a professional and distinctive manner.
After a tour of the exhibition, I saw some of the prices that were reduced by some companies on the occasion of the exhibition to provide housing units at almost satisfactory prices. In some of the units, I found spaces starting from 225m2 with prices starting from 850 thousand riyals and reaching 350m2 with prices reaching one million six hundred thousand and more approximately. I believe that the future of the city of Riyadh specifically with the vision is dazzling and bright due to the very high demand for it as a capital with its economic and tourist weight with all these projects that will take Riyadh to a stage that is advanced and attractive for investment or for housing.
