The agreement valued at 55.615 million SAR, excluding VAT, is for the development of a residential project in Al-Arid District, a northern Riyadh area. Asas Makeen will manage the development works and execution, with the deal spanning a 10-month period.\n\nThe project occupies an 8,800-square-meter land plot owned by N Building Company. The 15% stake Asas Makeen holds in N Building Company creates an unusual developer-client relationship, despite the agreement being classified as arm’s-length. Earnings from this deal will be recognized gradually as construction milestones are met, rather than upfront, providing near-term revenue visibility for investors.
