Insdie KAFD Facade Land Jun-24-16 - a photo on Flickriver

            The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) is a new development under construction near King Fahad Road in the Asahafa area of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia being undertaken by the Rayadah Investment Corporation[3] on behalf of the Pension Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, consisting of 59 towers in an area of 1.6 million square metres. It will provide more than 3 million square metres of space for various uses, 62,000 parking spaces and accommodation for 12,000 residents. In 2011 it was the largest project in the world seeking green building accreditation. Bombardier won a $241m USD contract to build an automated monorail for the developmentThe district is designed to keep it isolated from close contact with the strictly monitored Riyadh society.The design guidelines do not separate the sexes in the district. The KAFD master plan was designed and overseen by Danish Architects Henning Larsen Henning Larsen Architects. Additional design work was provided by W Architecture and Landscape Architecture.The CEO of the development is Waleed Aleisa.
The project is estimated to cost 29 billion Saudi riyals ($7.8 billion).
 
KAFD assembled the best engineers and architects in the world to create a platform of buildings and technology that is equal to any other major financial center. A significant number of regulators and banks were invited to participate with the Capital Markets Authority, Tadawul (Saudi Stock Exchange), Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency and Samba Bank forming the core of this economic cluster. With beautiful public spaces, compelling retail, convenient connectivity, and stunning places to live, KAFD will offer a compelling value proposition for employees and their families.
The King Abdullah Financial District is an incredible & ambitious project which will enrich the economy and reputation of Saudi Arabia’s capital city. With a strong asset base and long term view, KAFD tenants and partners can be confident their landlord will be stable and the properties constructed and maintained to a high standard. KAFD will be a transformational project for Riyadh, providing new experiences and opportunities for its residents and enhancing its global reputation.
