RIYADH, February 24, 2025
Chapman Taylor, a multi-award winning practice of global architects and masterplanners, has released the first images of its key Saudi development, Enar Project, a residential-led mixed-use destination in the capital Riyadh
It will be a vibrant neighbourhood that harmoniously combines serene residential living with diverse commercial services. At its core, this masterplan addresses the most sustainable point of all: to support the ‘Circle of Life.’
Unveiling the designs, Chapman Taylor said the multifaceted masterplan will deliver 450,000 sqm of new development, providing environments to live, meet, shop, eat, work and play, intertwined throughout the urban fabric.
All of which provides activity and uses at street level and connects the many public spaces where residents and visitors can gather and thrive, it stated.
The Enar Masterplan represents a vibrant community designed to reflect the essence of Riyadh City’s identity while fostering its own contemporary touch.
Emphasising urban greening, safe streets, and cultural vibrancy, the masterplan offers leisure, recreation, and contemplation opportunities, ensuring a holistic and enriching experience for visitors and residents of Al Hamra it added.
Chapman Taylor said pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles can circulate throughout the master plan, with a hierarchy of routes that provide spaces for them to feel safe and secure.
Riyadh is home to some of the most exciting and ambitious developments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the project's vision is to align with these high standards to develop a world-class residential-led, mixed-use development, it stated.
At the heart of this development is the coming together of ‘Community’ in many wonderful ways. From the new and mixed community that will visit the development to work, shop, eat and play and the larger new diverse community that will call it home.
The scheme will support the wider Riyadh Community and underpin the Saudi 2030 Vision.
According to Chapman Taylor, the project is distinguished by its meticulous architectural design, blending traditional and modern aesthetics with natural beauty.
At the heart of the neighbourhood lies a lush green park with charming water pools, creating a peaceful and tranquil ambience with designated areas for walking and sitting by the water.
The park is surrounded by buildings and streets lined with natural trees and plants, illuminating the area like the sun brightens the world with its rays. The light radiating from the project's core will also brighten its residents' lives, instilling comfort and tranquillity in their hearts, it added.
"The core aspirations of the project are to create a mixed-use destination and community that establishes itself as an exemplary urban district providing state-of-the-art amenities and facilities for its residents and visitors. The project vision is set out by five key principles and themes that run throughout the project," said a company spokesman.
The project offers a variety of residential units to suit different tastes and needs, ranging from luxury apartments to contemporary Villas designed to the highest quality standards. Enar also features commercial offices and a diverse selection of international shops, restaurants and cafes, providing Enar visitors with a unique shopping experience, he stated.
Additionally, Enar boasts a strategic location on King Abdullah Road, close to the Eastern Ring Road, which connects King Khalid International Airport in the northern part of the city with its centre.
This road grants easy access to the various vital areas of Riyadh. Residents and visitors can conveniently travel within the capital, whether by car or through the network of train stations set to become operational soon.
Enar is a fully serviced neighbourhood. It is ideal for living, working, and enjoying the beauty of nature in an upscale and sustainable environment, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
