Delving into The Red Sea Project’s 150ha sustainable Coastal Village – MEP MiddleEast

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF)-led The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) — which is the developer of the kingdom’s 28,000km2 The Red Sea Project, one of the world’s most ambitious tourism initiatives — is preparing facilities at its Coastal Village, where 14,000 employees who will eventually operate the destination will live and work.

Spread across 1.5 million square metres, the Coastal Village includes management offices, villas, townhouses, and apartments, as well as a 144-key hotel. It will also feature fitness centres, beach clubs, and dining outlets, in addition to a hospital and a school. MEP works on the Coastal Village are underway, with the construction of ten linear residential apartment buildings, the TRSDC office, and the firm’s first three-star management hotel progressing on schedule and currently in the commissioning phase.

Sharing construction details in an exclusive conversation with MEP Middle East, the Chief Projects Delivery Officer for The Red Sea Development Company, Ian Williamson, confirms: “Other residential buildings – including apartments, town houses, and villas within TRSDC’s Coastal Village – are in the construction phase with the MEP first fix already completed.
