Sumou Real Estate Company has entered into an infrastructure development agreement in Riyadh with Mashariq Al Arabi, strengthening its role in Saudi Arabia’s expanding real estate sector. The company will oversee development activities and earn management fees linked to project costs. The deal aligns with the Kingdom’s broader urban expansion plans under Vision 2030, where private developers are playing a key role in delivering large-scale infrastructure and residential projects. The agreement highlights Sumou’s continued focus on fee-based income and project management services as part of its growth strategy.
Sumou Real Estate Company SJSC has signed an infrastructure development agreement in Riyadh with Mashariq Al Arabi, marking a new addition to its project portfolio in Saudi Arabia. The company confirmed that it will be responsible for managing infrastructure development under the agreement.
As part of the deal, Sumou Real Estate will receive management fees amounting to 10% of the total development cost. This structure reflects the company’s focus on generating revenue through project management and advisory roles rather than direct capital-intensive development.
The agreement comes at a time when Riyadh is witnessing significant infrastructure expansion, supported by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 programme. The initiative aims to diversify the economy and boost urban development, creating opportunities for private real estate developers and infrastructure firms.
Sumou Real Estate has been actively involved in several large-scale projects across the Kingdom, with a business model that includes partnerships and fee-based services. The latest agreement further strengthens its position in the infrastructure segment, where demand continues to grow alongside residential and mixed-use developments.
In recent years, developers in Saudi Arabia have increasingly adopted similar models, focusing on asset-light strategies that allow them to scale operations while maintaining steady income streams through management fees and consultancy services.
