Project Description

Revitalizing Jeddah’s waterfront into a vibrant economic hub while preserving its rich cultural heritage.

MXD Development Strategists collaborated with a group of international designers and architects to conduct a comprehensive market analysis and master planning assignment for one of the largest urban waterfront regeneration projects in the Arab World. The project will transform the old centre of Jeddah into an economically vibrant area that connects the waterfront to a new CBD while preserving and restoring the culturally and socially significant Historic Jeddah District. A special feature of JCD will be the “Balad” Area, which is intended to become a traditional cultural extension of the City Center, comprised of an interwoven pattern of shopping arcades, streets, piazzas framed by low rise buildings. A major goal of the entire project was to maintain Jeddah’s historic background.
