Organised by ICG-Events, it discussed the latest trends and developments in the sector, especially Islamic real estate finance in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the United Kingdom.

Addressing the conference, Abdulgadir Amir, deputy mayor for planning and urban development at Jeddah Municipality, said the projects include the re-development of the North Corniche — a 12-kilometre stretch for which the master plan has been completed by British consultants Scott Wilson.

He added that the total estimated project spend for the renovation and new infrastructure projects, excluding the sewage, desalination, transport projects that are funded from central government budgets, is about SR30 billion. — habib@khaleejtimes.com
