Saudi developer Cayan Group has broken ground on its huge Samaya project in north western Riyadh.
The SAR 1bn ($266mn) mixed use residential development in Erga covers 1 million m2.
The contract for the excavation phase was awarded soon after Cayan received the official permits including the off-plan permit.
The residential project will also offer integrated services for high-end living including commercial units, schools, mosques, sports clubs, parks, as well as many other entertainment facilities.
