ROSHN Group, Saudi Arabia's prominent multi-asset Real estate developer and a Public investment Fund company, has finalized a SAR 2 billion Shariah-compliant credit facility with Saudi National bank . This seven-year financing arrangement is designated for the Acquisition of ROSHN Front, a premier commercial and retail complex in Riyadh.

The strategic acquisition of ROSHN Front signifies ROSHN Group's deliberate expansion into the commercial and retail sectors, complementing its existing residential projects. Opened in 2019, ROSHN Front has become a central hub for both shoppers and businesses, drawing over 7 million visitors annually. The development comprises two main sections: ROSHN Front-Retail, offering more than 81,800 square meters of leasable space occupied by leading retail and dining brands; and ROSHN Front-Business, providing over 78,900 square meters of office space housing esteemed government agencies, private enterprises, and multinational corporations.

Avinash Pangarkar, Group Chief Finance Officer of ROSHN Group, emphasized the importance of this financial partnership, stating that the agreement with Saudi National Bank is a pivotal milestone for ROSHN Group, enabling the unlocking of significant value from the acquisition and creating long-term benefits for stakeholders and the communities served.

The integration of ROSHN Front into ROSHN's portfolio is poised to enhance the retail and commercial landscape of the area, elevate tenant experiences, and attract top-tier brands and businesses. This move aligns with ROSHN's broader mission to develop integrated, human-centric communities that enrich the quality of life across the Kingdom.

The acquisition of ROSHN Front, formerly known as Riyadh Front, was initially announced in December 2022, with the rebranding to ROSHN Front occurring in September 2023. The complex is strategically located adjacent to ROSHN's flagship SEDRA project in Riyadh, facilitating potential synergies between the developments. SEDRA is envisioned to house approximately 30,000 new homes upon completion, and the proximity to ROSHN Front is expected to provide residents with enhanced access to amenities, exclusive promotions, and diverse retail and commercial options.

As a PIF-backed entity, ROSHN continues to play a vital role in advancing Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 objectives by developing sustainable and vibrant communities that cater to the evolving needs of its populace.
