Makkah Construction and Development Company, one of the leading real estate developers in Saudi Arabia, has announced the opening of nominations for membership on its Board of Directors for the upcoming term. This step represents a pivotal moment in the company's journey, as it plays a vital role in developing the central area surrounding the Grand Mosque in Makkah. The new Board term will be four years, beginning on June 10, 2026, and ending on June 9, 2030, a period coinciding with crucial phases in the implementation of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objectives.
Historical background and strategic importance
Makkah Construction and Development Company was established as a Saudi joint-stock company to be the leading arm in developing the areas surrounding the Grand Mosque. Since its inception, the company has implemented mega-projects that have transformed the face of Makkah, most notably the Abraj Al Bait project, which houses the famous Makkah Clock Tower and is one of the largest architectural complexes in the world. The company's importance is not limited to the real estate sector; it extends to its pivotal role in serving pilgrims and Umrah performers by providing advanced infrastructure and world-class residential and commercial facilities just steps away from the Grand Mosque.
The impact of the new council on Vision 2030
The election of the new board of directors is of particular importance, as it will be responsible for guiding the company's strategies in line with the ambitious goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to increase the capacity to receive pilgrims and enhance the quality of services provided to them. The board's decisions will directly impact future projects, the expansion of existing facilities, and the enhancement of the religious and cultural experience for visitors. Therefore, the competence and experience of the incoming board members will not only determine the company's financial future but will also contribute to achieving higher national goals with global religious and economic dimensions.
