Essam Ahmad Kalthoum, CEO of Asmou Development Co., said the country’s real estate momentum reflects the government’s strategic reforms and financial restructuring efforts. “We are firm believers in the potential of the Saudi market, led by the vision of His Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman,” he said. Kalthoum added that the demand for property is rising across multiple sectors, especially hospitality, logistics, and infrastructure.
