Saudi Arabia’s booming real estate market is set to take centre stage in Riyadh this November as Cityscape Global 2026 brings developers, investors and policymakers from around the world together to explore opportunities emerging from the Kingdom’s ambitious urban transformation.

To be held from November 16-19 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre in Malham, the event is sponsored by the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing in partnership with the Real Estate General Authority, Vision 2030 and the Housing Program, and is organised by Tahaluf.

A real estate market in transformation

Few markets are changing as rapidly as Saudi Arabia’s. From new cities and residential communities to infrastructure, hospitality and entertainment destinations, real estate sits at the heart of the kingdom’s broader economic transformation.

Cityscape Global has positioned itself at the centre of that transformation, creating a space where government priorities meet private capital and where major development projects are presented to an increasingly international investment community.

Last year’s edition generated more than $63 billion in signed deals and onsite transactions and attracted more than 164,000 visits from over 120 countries, according to the organisers.

A platform aligned with national priorities

Saudi Arabia continues to prioritise investment across key sectors such as urban development, infrastructure, and entertainment as part of its long-term economic transformation, said the organisers. 

Cityscape Global brings together the stakeholders, projects, and capital shaping this next phase of growth, they added.

On the upcoming event, Majed bin Abdullah Al Hogail, Minister of Municipalities and Housing, Saudi Arabia, said:

"Cityscape Global supports our efforts to expand homeownership and improve access to real estate investment across Saudi Arabia. The scale of last year’s edition, which saw $63 billion in deals signed and over 164,000+ visits, reflects the strength of the market and the role this platform plays in connecting stakeholders."

"By bringing together developers, investors, and government entities, Cityscape Global helps accelerate delivery and supports our long-term development goals," he added.

Global participation, local impact

Cityscape Global stands is a leading international platform for the real estate industry, attracting top-tier developers and investors from around the world. Last year, the event welcomed over 164,000+ visits from 120+ countries, demonstrating its true global reach, said the organisers. 

More than 35,000 investors and professionals formed a powerful international network, and 82 international developers showcased their projects, highlighting Cityscape Global's unmatched international presence. With 600+ exhibitors expected in 2026, Cityscape Global is set to further expand its global footprint.

For investors, Cityscape Global is an unparalleled gateway to lucrative opportunities, offering direct access to a diverse portfolio of Saudi and international projects under one roof. 

Attending institutional investors represent over $6 trillion in assets under management across real estate and infrastructure, underlining the scale of opportunity.
