Located in Jeddah's Al Nahdah district on King Abdulaziz Road, the Porta Jeddah project covers 47,971 sq m area, with a gross floor area of 132,918 sq m.

On completion, it will boast an internationally-branded hotel and serviced apartments in addition to Grade A offices, retail space, restaurants and cafes, as well as leisure facilities and public areas.

Under the first contract worth SAR463.1 million, MOBCO will carry out the first package of its Porta Jeddah mixed-use development, stated Al Akaria in its filing to Saudi bourse Tadawul.

The contract, which runs for two years and three months, will cover structural works across the project, including the hotel, external facades, electromechanical works for all components except the hotel's interior finishing and electromechanical works, and public and landscaped areas.

The other contract worth SAR16 million will see Parsons provide project and construction management services for the development, including hotel design reviews and coordination among the parties involved in the project.

Al Akaria CEO Abdullah S. Abudawood said the contracts would help accelerate work on the company's projects and move them towards completion.

Porta Jeddah is Al Akaria's first development in Jeddah and forms part of its plans to expand geographically within Saudi Arabia, it added.
