About the project

King Salman Park is a mixed-use urban-park megaproject in central Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, rising on the site of the city's former airport to become one of the world's largest urban parks. Led by the King Salman Park Foundation under Saudi Vision 2030, the roughly 17-square-kilometre green district is master-planned by Henning Larsen, Omrania, and Gerber Architekten (with Buro Happold and Setec) and anchored by the $2 billion Royal Arts Complex and an Adjaye Associates-designed Visitor Pavilion. It blends more than a million trees, a wadi-inspired landscape, and 150-plus attractions with residential-led mixed-use districts of homes, hotels, offices, schools, and retail.
