Roshn, Partanna to build carbon-negative concrete facility in KSA

Saudi Arabia's premier real estate developer Roshn said it has entered into a partnership agreement with Partanna Arabia, a Riyadh-based climate technology company, for joint collaboration on the potential construction of a state-of-the-art carbon-negative concrete production facility.

The facility is planned to initially deliver carbon-negative pavers, and has the potential to produce blocks, tile, precast and pour-in-place solutions over time. This will help Roshn with its mission to build over 400,000 homes, 1,000 kindergartens and schools and more than 700 mosques by 2030.

The facility is expected to support over 100 jobs and lay the foundations for the Kingdom’s ambitious construction pipeline, it stated.

A major Saudi developer being powered by sovereign wealth fund PIF, Roshn is investing in the creation of sustainable and self-sufficient communities.

Its agreement with Partanna comes just months after Partanna launched its first carbon-negative ‘home for the world’ in The Bahamas, which is the first of 1,000 to be delivered in partnership with the Bahamian Government.

In 2023, Partanna signed a long-term supply agreement with Red Sea Global, and has already delivered over 11,000 paving slabs to the developer. In addition, Partanna also has a collaboration agreement with the Diriyah Gate Development Authority.
