AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the trusted global infrastructure leader, in joint venture with Jacobs, has been appointed by New Murabba Development Company to provide design services for the landmark The Mukaab — the iconic centerpiece of Riyadh’s New Murabba development. The project forms part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 program to create a sustainable, connected and human-centered urban future.

“This appointment reflects the strength of our global design leadership and our ability to deliver iconic, future-ready infrastructure,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “The Mukaab is a powerful example of what’s possible when visionary ambition meets world-class technical expertise. We’re proud to bring our integrated capabilities to a project that will define Riyadh’s skyline and set new standards for complex infrastructure delivery worldwide.”

Designed as one of the world’s largest built structures, the 247-acre (100-hectare) Mukaab will anchor a new mixed-used modern downtown development combining residential, hospitality, retail and cultural spaces. Drawing inspiration from Najdi architecture — the traditional style of central Saudi Arabia — and integrating cutting-edge digital and immersive technologies, the development aims to redefine modern urban living and global visitor experiences.

AECOM and Jacobs will provide design services for The Mukaab and its surrounding podium areas, including infrastructure, road tunnels, the Mukaab Core, wadi podiums and public realm.

“We are very pleased to be supporting New Murabba as they continue to invest in Saudi Arabia’s future,” said Hamed Zaghw, chief executive of AECOM’s Middle East and Africa region. “We are connecting and leveraging our diverse knowledge, skills and experiences from around the world for this transformational project. The win reaffirms our commitment to supporting Vision 2030 through the delivery of large-scale, transformational projects that create long-lasting impact in the Kingdom.”
