KEC and Kaden Investment Partner for $666 Million Madinah Mixed-Use Development
Knowledge Economic City (KEC) and Kaden Investment Company have signed an MoU to co-develop the **SAR 2.5 billion** Multaqa Al Madinah 2 mixed-use project in Madinah.
Saudi-listed Knowledge Economic City (KEC) and Kaden Investment Company have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop the Multaqa Al Madinah 2 project in Madinah. The development, valued at SAR 2.5 billion (approximately $666.16 million), is an extension of the first phase of the broader Multaqa Al Madinah development.
Project Scope and Funding
Located within the initial phase, Multaqa Al Madinah 2 will span nearly 92,043 square metres with an estimated total gross floor area of almost 229,117 square metres. The project is designed to include approximately 1,527 residential units spread across three distinct residential zones. In addition to housing, it will feature commercial and office components offering a net leasable area of around 31,108 square metres.
The development plan also incorporates clubs, recreational and service facilities, and extensive landscaping for a central park adjacent to the project site. Funding for Multaqa Al Madinah 2 will be secured through a dedicated real estate fund.
Ownership Structure and Strategy
Under the terms of the MoU, KEC will hold a 75 percent ownership stake in the real estate fund, while Kaden Investment will possess the remaining share. Capital Hill has been appointed as the fund manager responsible for overseeing the project's financial aspects, with Kaden Investment also taking on the role of development manager.
The strategy for the project's components involves selling the residential units outright. The commercial and office spaces, however, are intended for leasing until operations stabilise and occupancy rates are satisfactory, after which an exit through sale is anticipated. The first phase of the Multaqa Al Madinah development already includes a mall, a Hilton hotel tower, and Hilton-branded residences.
