Research scope
2026 snapshot
The research in three answers
Direct answers that make the report scope, sources and limits easy to understand.
What does the Saudi projects 2026 report cover?
It tracks announced launches, contracts and construction activity across Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province, with project figures, status and a direct source.
The tracker covers 21 project events across three markets, with a source link on every card.
Are all figures in the report forecasts?
No. The report separates confirmed news through the cut-off date from forward-looking watchlist items and labels estimates when they are not actual results.
The cut-off is 11 July 2026, and the methodology states the data and uncertainty limits.
Which sources does Osool research use?
The methodology prioritizes government, developer and Saudi Exchange sources, then uses GASTAT, CBRE and Knight Frank for market context.
Core sources are listed at the end, and each project keeps its direct source attached.

Methodology
How the data was assembled
The research screened announcements published from 1 January through 11 July 2026, then separated confirmed news from H2 targets.
Priority went to developer, government and Saudi Exchange sources; GASTAT, CBRE and Knight Frank were used to place projects in market context.
US-dollar values are shown as reported. Figures described as “more than” or “about” were not converted into false precision. This is informational research, not investment advice.
