Parsons Awarded Contract for Saudi Arabia Megaproject

Rua Al-Madinah Mega Mixed-Use Real Estate Project

Parsons Corporation declared that the company was appointed by the Rua Al-Madinah Holding Company (RAM-H) to deliver construction project management consultancy and contract administration services (PMCM) for the Rua Al-Madinah mega mixed-use real estate project in the holy city of Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Under this contract, which is worth about $15 million, Parsons will handle the significant infrastructure works containing the tunnel, road, and utility works.

The president for Middle East and Africa at Parsons, Pierre Santoni, claimed: “The Kingdom has several megaprojects that are driving the economic and social transformation of the region while highlighting its hospitality and heritage.”

He also added: “Parsons is dedicated to helping our client achieve their vision of reforming Madinah into a modern Islamic and cultural destination for pilgrims and a revitalized urban center for its residents.”

The Rua Al-Madinah project is a critical initiative towards the realization of Saudi Vision 2030, scheduled to promote the city’s cultural and historical heritage, enhance the quality of life for its residents, and improve the visitor experience for Islamic pilgrims.

The 1.5 million square-meter development will deliver 63 per cent of open, green spaces; new modes of transportation and parking that will provide easy access to the Prophet’s Mosque, surrounding residences, and commercial spaces; and host 47,000 hotel rooms to assist in accommodating the 30 million Islamic pilgrims that will visit the city in the coming years.

The Rua Al-Madinah project illustrates the first phase of Madinah Central Area mega development and is launched to add $37 million to the GDP and will generate 93,000 new jobs.
