Abdullah Al-Othaim Investment Company continues implementing the works of the 'Othaim Train - Al-Ahsa' project, the integrated mixed-use destination it is developing in strategic partnership with Saudi Railways (SAR), with investments amounting to 286 million riyals, as part of its commitment to developing destinations that enrich everyday life details, enhance quality of life, and contribute to supporting economic and tourism growth, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

The project is witnessing rapid progress in execution, with the completion rate of the commercial center reaching 76%, an indicator reflecting the project's transition to an advanced stage of development, and continued work according to the highest quality and efficiency standards, in preparation for offering a distinctive destination that adds new value to Al-Ahsa Governorate.

The 'Othaim Train - Al-Ahsa' project extends over an area exceeding 85,000 square meters, and is being developed to be an integrated destination combining shopping, hospitality, and services within a comprehensive experience that meets the needs of residents, visitors, and travelers, benefiting from its strategic location adjacent to the Saudi Railways station, which enhances the project's status as a new urban gateway in the governorate.

The project embodies a model of partnership between Abdullah Al-Othaim Investment Company and Saudi Railways (SAR), aiming to maximize the benefit from strategic sites linked to national infrastructure, and transform them into integrated destinations that contribute to stimulating economic activity, enhancing investment attractiveness, and supporting sustainable urban development.

Upon completion, the project will include a commercial center with a leasable area of 24,500 thousand square meters, along with a hotel comprising 120 rooms, and 13 hotel apartments, in addition to 881 parking spaces, offering an integrated experience combining shopping, hospitality, and services in one destination.

The project was designed to be more than just a shopping center, as it will provide an integrated experience combining shopping, accommodation, and daily services in a modern and interconnected environment, enhancing quality of life, providing a new destination for residents and visitors of Al-Ahsa, and enriching the commercial and tourism landscape in the governorate.

Al-Ahsa is considered one of the most prominent heritage and tourism destinations in the Kingdom, due to its cultural heritage, natural features, and strategic location, along with its continuous economic growth and expansion in tourism, retail, and hospitality sectors, which reinforces its status as an attractive destination for qualitative investments.

Mr. Abdulmalik bin Abdullah Al-Othaim, Vice Chairman of the Board and CEO of Abdullah Al-Othaim Investment Company, said: 'The Othaim Train - Al-Ahsa project embodies our vision of developing integrated destinations that respond to the needs of cities and communities, and achieve sustainable economic and social value. We are proud of our partnership with Saudi Railways (SAR), which represents a successful model of integration in developing qualitative projects that invest in strategic locations, enhance quality of life, and contribute to achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.'

He added: 'The progress witnessed by the project reflects our commitment to implementing projects according to the highest quality and operational efficiency standards. We look forward to offering a destination that combines shopping, hospitality, and services, enriches the experience of residents and visitors, and contributes to establishing Al-Ahsa as a leading commercial, tourism, and investment destination.'

The project is scheduled to open in two phases, the first starting with the opening of the commercial center, followed by the second phase with the opening of the hotel. Upon completion, the project is expected to attract local and international brands, enhance the hospitality sector, create direct and indirect job opportunities, support small and medium enterprises, in addition to stimulating the local economy and consolidating Al-Ahsa's position as a destination for investment and tourism.

The 'Othaim Train - Al-Ahsa' project comes within the portfolio of projects developed by Abdullah Al-Othaim Investment Company in various regions of the Kingdom, through which it continues to develop integrated destinations that bring people together, stimulate local economies, and create sustainable value for individuals and communities, in line with its mission to enrich everyday life details and support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
