Being the gateway to the Holy Mosque in Makkah for pilgrims, the King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) City has exceptional importance: the New Gate of Jeddah. A key strategy of this new development is to implement and create an integrated and connected mixed-use destination, a livable and enjoyable community supporting the vibrant and ambitious city of Jeddah. At the proximity to the heart of Jeddah, it covers a 678,000 m2 plot and will hold direct connections, including a network of trains and highways.

The vision of the KAIA City is to create a new destination, crossing beyond the traditional notion of a shopping mall, with creative tourism and business opportunities, while also providing a dynamic lifestyle and family entertainment hub.

The mixed-use development is expected to exceed local and international expectations in its advanced and vast infrastructure, embracing futuristic and sustainable opportunities to cater to the evolving local and regional needs while facilitating travel and stay for international guests.

Revo were contracted to provide peer review of the entire rational of the city. Further Revo has created a Development Strategy as well as program zoning.
