Leading local and international developers will be showcasing their latest real estate projects and investment opportunities from across the property spectrum to homebuyers and investors, at the Cityscape Jeddah property expo being held in the Saudi city in April.

Part of the Cityscape portfolio, the event will see more than 40 exhibitors and over 8,000 visitors take part, said the event organiser Informa Exhibitions Saudi.

The newly opened country branch of Informa Exhibitions is looking to grow Saudi Arabia’s non-oil sector with its events in 2019. The expansion into the kingdom this year comes at a pivotal time as the country prepares for its Saudi Vision 2030 goals, said the organiser.

The Saudi branch will look at bringing world-class events into the kingdom as well as establish its footprint in the exhibitions’ industry with its list of regional and global events.

Among the events billed for 2019 is the eighth edition of Cityscape Jeddah, expected to be the Saudi city’s largest real estate exhibition, taking place from April 5 to 7 at the Center for Forums and Events.

Investors have remained optimistic about the real estate market following Saudi’s Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy away from oil. Reforms under the Vision 2030 are expected to create an attractive investment environment, especially for the real estate sector, which is predicted to double its contribution to the economy throughout the period to 2030, the organiser added.
