Each phase of this transformative development had its own unique objectives and challenges. In every case, JLL focused on preplanning to identify and mitigate schedule risks while leveraging digital platforms to monitor progress and ensure timely milestone completion. Our integrated service model allowed each project phase to benefit from cross-functional insights, enabling us to provide holistic problem-solving, adapt quickly to changes, and ensure optimal resource utilisation. Our sustainability experts and WiredScore Accredited professionals also worked with KAFD DMC on their smart and green ambition. This ultimately enhanced project efficiency, quality, and overall success for KAFD DMC.

KAFD is poised to be a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's economic growth and diversification for years to come, promising a bright future for the region. As a city within a city, it’s the Kingdom’s first vertical city that’s home to 95 stunning buildings inspired by the native landscape, designed by over 25 world-leading architectural firms.

KAFD sets new benchmarks in urban living, smart city solutions, and sustainable development. It is recognized as the first neighborhood in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to achieve WiredScore's Global Smart Neighborhood Certification. A green district, KAFD is the world’s largest LEED platinum-certified business and lifestyle destination with over 40 Silver and Gold LEED-certified buildings.

In October 2024, JLL's partnership with KAFD DMC evolved from a project delivery partner to an occupier with the establishment of our regional office across two floors within KAFD.
