SOM was proud to participate in Cityscape Global in Riyadh, where two exciting new SOM-designed concepts were unveiled: Retal Heights (pictured) with Retal Urban Development Company and Ajdan Towers with Ajdan Real Estate Development Company.

Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, both projects reflect the Kingdom’s rapid growth in real estate and its rising influence in sustainable, urban development.

Retal Heights—presented at Cityscape through a striking two-meter-tall physical model—is envisioned as a new landmark on Riyadh’s skyline, shaped by the city’s climate, culture, and identity. The development comprises two twin towers: one housing a luxury hotel and branded residences and the other offering private apartments of varying sizes. A shared podium will serve as the social heart of the project, featuring a multifunctional event space and a lush water garden.

Ajdan Towers, also conceived as a dual-tower development, will deliver a dynamic mixed-use destination that combines commercial space, retail, and branded residences.
