The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has announced the removal of restrictions on key land transactions, including sales, purchases, subdivisions, and fragmentation, across a vast area in northern Riyadh. This decision specifically affects the region surrounding the New Murabba Project. Spanning approximately 46 million square meters, the unrestricted area is bordered by King Fahd Road to the west, Prince Faisal bin Bandar Road to the east, the Special Security Forces Road to the south, and the pipeline protection zone to the north.
The RCRC further stated that building permits and approvals for new development plans on these plots will be issued in line with a new urban code, set to be revealed within three months of this announcement.
In a related update, it was revealed last week that restrictions on 4,714,900 square meters of land within the New Murabba Project development area have also been lifted. The National Program for Community Development in the Regions (TANMIHA) has recently called on property owners to submit the required documentation to verify land ownership, paving the way for the initiation of expropriation procedures within the New Murabba Project’s boundaries. Meanwhile, the New Murabba Company is set to develop design guidelines for the urban code in these areas, which will be published through the RCRC’s official channels once approved.
In addition, the RCRC has established a contact center to manage public inquiries regarding the lands affected by the decision. The center is available from Sunday to Thursday, between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, and can be reached at 8001240800.
