Chapman Taylor is pleased to announce that we are leading the design of Tura, an ambitious new mixed-use district in North Riyadh. 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.

The project vision aims to create an exemplar community development and a catalyst for the future expansion of North Riyadh.

The project vision aims to create an exemplar community development and a catalyst for the future expansion of North Riyadh. With a total potential GFA of up to 250,000m², Tura is strategically located along King Abdulaziz Road and is conceived as a well-connected urban hub that will serve both residents and the wider city.

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.

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.

Chapman Taylor is pleased to announce that we are leading the design of Tura, an ambitious new mixed-use district in North Riyadh formerly known as Enofa Valley. The project sets out a bold vision for a future-ready urban community, combining residential neighbourhoods, hospitality, retail, workplace, cultural uses and extensive green landscapes to create a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable new destination.

The project vision—outlined in the masterplan report dated 4 November 2025—aims to create “an exemplar community development and a catalyst for the future expansion of North Riyadh”. With a total potential built-up area of up to 250,000m², Tura is strategically located along King Abdulaziz Road and is conceived as a well-connected urban hub that will serve both residents and the wider city.

Rooted in five key principles—collective belonging, programmatic synergy, elevated commons, hyper-activated living and Salmani identity—the design integrates a rich mix of functions arranged within a distinctive framework of districts, parks and public spaces. The masterplan includes residential clusters, mixed-use retail streets, an urban lifestyle hotel, office space, green realms and a central park offering shaded, activity-rich environments for all ages.

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 flexible urban mobility solutions that align with Riyadh’s Vision 2030 agenda.

Tura’s striking urban structure features a series of interconnected neighbourhoods—such as Turaif Residence, Rawdat Al-Hajar Residence, Al-Safra and Jabalayn—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.

With a strong emphasis on placemaking, human experience and future lifestyles, Tura represents a major contribution to North Riyadh’s ongoing transformation into a global, resilient and culturally enriched metropolis.
