A future-ready urban community

The project sets out a bold vision for a future-ready urban community, combining residential neighbourhoods, luxury hospitality, retail, and workplaces, set around an extraordinary green landscape to create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable new destination.

Amenity-rich environment

Rooted in five key principles, collective belonging, programmatic synergy, exceptional green space, hyper-activated living, and Salmani identity, the design integrates a rich mix of functions within a distinctive framework of districts, parks, and public spaces. The masterplan includes residential clusters, a grand retail boulevard, an urban lifestyle hotel, contemporary office space, and a central park offering shaded, amenity-rich environments for all ages.

Design concept

Drawing inspiration from the concept “Growing from the Earth”, the architectural narrative is shaped by dramatic landforms, organic geometries and a contemporary interpretation of Najd heritage, blending future-oriented urban design with local identity.

Sustainability is fundamental, with a focus on indigenous landscapes, climatic comfort, walkability, and an active lifestyle, featuring over 5km of running tracks and a broad range of sporting facilities for residents to enjoy.

A series of interconnected neighbourhoods

Tura’s striking urban structure features a series of interconnected neighbourhoods organised around green corridors and active public spaces that enhance liveability and social cohesion. A dynamic retail boulevard and a central park form the heart of the development, supported by hospitality landmarks and community-focused amenities.
