The sales of luxury residential units linked to global brands by Diriyah Holding Company (DHC) in Saudi Arabia have exceeded $4.27 billion to date, amid growing demand for this type of real estate, according to the company’s CEO Jerry Inzerillo.

He also said that work was continuing on a number of international hotels, most notably the Aman Hotel, which he described as “one of the best Aman projects in the world,” along with the Oberoi, Fayna, Chedi, and Six Senses hotels.

He emphasised that these projects will contribute to consolidating Diriyah’s position as a global destination in the tourism and hospitality sectors.

Inzerillo also emphasised that all these efforts were part of supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to diversify the economy and enhance the tourism sector as a key driver of growth.
