Our Story

About Al Othaim Developments

Al Othaim Developments is the residential real estate arm of Al Othaim Investment, extending a legacy of serving Saudi communities into the world of residential development.

For generations, the Al Othaim name has been part of everyday life in the Kingdom. Today, that experience is being translated into a new kind of destination: communities where people don't simply visit, shop, or spend time — but live, connect, and belong.

Since
1956
A Legacy Built on TrustFrom serving communities to building places people belong.

Our Vision

To be the developer Saudi families trust to build not just homes, but places they belong.

Our Mission

To create premium, accessible communities across the Kingdom — combining thoughtful design, everyday livability, and long-term value with the trust and responsibility associated with the Al Othaim name.

Our Ambition

Our ambition is simple: to build residential communities that earn the same trust people have placed in the Al Othaim name for generations.

Our Story

From serving communities to building them.

The Al Othaim story began in 1956 with a single store in Riyadh, built on understanding people, serving them well, and earning their trust.

Over the decades, the Al Othaim name became part of everyday life across the Kingdom through markets, malls, destinations, services, and experiences.

Today, Al Othaim Developments carries that experience into residential communities—creating complete places where people can live, connect, and belong.

The result is a development philosophy centered on one belief:A great home should be part of a great place.

Heritage & Trust

A name people already know. A standard we have to live up to.

The Al Othaim name has been part of Saudi families' everyday lives since 1956.

For Al Othaim Developments, that heritage isn't simply something to talk about. It is a responsibility.

Every community we develop carries that expectation — from the quality of the home to the experience of the neighborhood and the service that continues after handover.

Trust is not our tagline. It is our standard.

Design & Livability

Designed around real life.

We don't design communities simply to look impressive from above. We design them around the moments that happen every day.

Homes that work for different stages of life. Walkable spaces. Convenient amenities. Places to meet. Places to pause. Places for families. Places that feel connected to their city.

Because the best masterplan isn't simply one that looks good on paper. It's one that works beautifully in real life.
Shared community spaces

Community

The spaces between the homes matter.

A community isn't created by buildings alone.

It is created in the park where children play, the walkway where neighbors meet, the café downstairs, the shared space where families gather, and the everyday places that become part of people's routines.

That's why we consider the spaces between homes as carefully as the homes themselves.

Because belonging doesn't happen inside a floor plan. It happens around it.
