About Al Olaya

Al Olaya is Riyadh's central business and lifestyle district, a north-south corridor anchored by Kingdom Centre, Al Faisaliah Tower, and the iconic Riyadh skyline. The district is the city's most cosmopolitan quarter, with premium hotels (Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental), high-end retail (Kingdom Centre Mall), and a dense concentration of corporate offices. Residential prices run SAR 7,500-12,000 per square metre with gross yields of 6.0-7.0% (capped by the September 2025 rent freeze). The market is dominated by premium serviced apartments and modern condominiums catering to executives and expatriates. Lifestyle is corporate-driven: business hotels, fine dining, premium retail, easy access to Riyadh Metro Line 1 (under commissioning). Increasingly walkable as Saudi Vision 2030 invests in pedestrian infrastructure.
