Today, the Kingdom expresses this momentum through exhibitions such as this one and other real estate and economic exhibitions.

Ahmed Al-Kurdi: High Demand Confirms a Path to Success
Ahmed Al-Kurdi of Asas Real Estate said that the high turnout of real estate companies at the Restatex exhibition is proof of its success and its focus on facilitating access for clients to residential products—whether for living or investment—in a professional and distinctive manner.
After touring the exhibition, I reviewed some of the prices that certain companies had reduced for the event to offer residential units at relatively reasonable prices. For some units, I found sizes starting at 225 m² with prices starting at 850,000 riyals andup to 350 m² at prices reaching approximately 1,600,000 riyals and more. I believe that the future of Riyadh, in particular, is dazzling and promising given the extremely high demand for it as a capital city with significant economic and tourist clout, along with all these projects that will take Riyadh to aand attractive for investment or residential living.
