Major Saudi Projects Attract U.S. Investments During Riyadh Forum 2025
Riyadh
With a tone of serious dialogue and mutual ambition, Riyadh hosted the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum 2025, providing a vital platform for aligning Saudi Arabia’s transformative development agenda with American investment interests. The forum highlighted various Saudi 2030 projects that aim to transform the country’s economy and infrastructure.
Throughout the forum, landmark initiatives such as Diriyah Gate, The Red Sea Project, and New Murabba stood out as key focal points — not only for their ambitious architectural and tourism visions but also as real embodiments of Saudi Vision 2030 taking shape on the ground.
These Are Projects You Can Walk Through Not Just Concepts on Paper
These three projects formed the backbone of discussions, reflecting the real time urban and tourism transformation underway. They are exemplary Saudi 2030 projects showcasing innovation across the Kingdom.
Diriyah Where Heritage Meets the Contemporary City
Diriyah Gate is an ambitious effort to bring Saudi Arabia’s historical core to the global stage. The project reimagines At-Turaif, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as a modern cultural destination. With Najdi-inspired architecture, public plazas, and world-class museums, the development is rooted in a concept one forum attendee described as living heritage, fitting into the broader Saudi 2030 projects scheme.
The Red Sea Project Luxury With a Light Environmental Footprint
Located along the Kingdom’s pristine western coastline, The Red Sea Project aims to redefine luxury tourism through a sustainability-first approach. Designed to preserve its natural archipelago, the development is drawing strong interest from U.S. hospitality groups looking to align with next-generation eco-tourism models, becoming a significant part of Saudi 2030 projects.
New Murabba: A Bold New Heart for Riyadh
In the capital’s very core, New Murabba is taking shape as a futuristic urban hub. Anchored by the world’s first cube-shaped skyscraper, the district blends residential, commercial, and cultural life in a smart, integrated environment. The project stands as a bold attempt to reshape what a Saudi city can be in the 21st century and is a noteworthy feature in the Saudi 2030 projects portfolio.
