4SAR billionSAR4bn is the size of the real estate fund for the first land parcel (September 2023). It is the fund, not a construction contract for Package 1 alone.

Package 1 was the park's first private real estate investment: a SAR4bn fund for a parcel of more than 290,000 m² in District One, managed by Saudi Fransi Capital with Naif Alrajhi Investment as developer and master lessee. Its best-known piece is the first TRIBE hotel (250 rooms) and TRIBE Living (150 apartments) in Saudi Arabia, signed with Accor in December 2024. The package also plans offices, retail, restaurants, a school and community facilities. The wider residential count is not disclosed, and no handover dates have been published.

How we count this

Package 1 is one of four deals we can name behind the Foundation's 'five major packages' (over SAR20bn, MIPIM, March 2026). Its SAR4bn is a fund size, so it is not comparable with the contract-style values of Packages 4 and 5. The 150 homes are the TRIBE Living apartments only; the rest of the package's residential count is undisclosed. MEED (September 2026) says one private package is on site and does not name it.
