Jeddah Economic City (JEC) is located between the two Holy
Cities of Makkah and Madinah on the Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia.
It aims to become the sustainable new northern district of the city
of Jeddah and the focus of economic growth along the coast. JEC
will be a destination for business, residences of different types,
tourism, leisure, entertainment, retail, medical centers and
government offices and services, and will become the new “downtown”
of uptown Jeddah.
“The project aims to offer an advanced quality of life in a
mixed use environment; with residential apartments of different
types, offices, retail leisure and entertainment, hotels and
tourism attractions public and cultural amenities, that will
provide thousands of job opportunities for young Saudis in various
fields and numerous investment opportunities. The
implementation of the smart city components is considered as an
essential step for delivering an environmentally friendly
self-sustainable project. The construction of the infrastructure is
going according to the set timeframe along with the supply of
utilities. Next year, land for development will be ready for
investors to start construction,” commented Mounib Hammoud, CEO of
