Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Chapman Taylor has announced that it is leading the design of Tura, an ambitious mixed-use district set to redefine urban living in North Riyadh. Launched during CityScape Global 2025, Tura aims to become a future-ready urban destination that blends residential, hospitality, retail, and workplace environments with expansive green spaces.
A Future-Focused Urban Vision
Tura has been designed around five core principles:
- Collective belonging
- Programmatic synergy
- Exceptional green space
- Hyper-activated living
- Salmani identity
These elements shape a dynamic masterplan that brings together residential clusters, luxury hotels, an urban retail boulevard, modern office spaces, and a central park designed for all ages.
Inspired by Nature and Culture
The architectural concept, “Growing from the Earth,” draws from organic landforms and a contemporary interpretation of Najd heritage. This creates a strong connection between modern urban design and Riyadh’s cultural identity.
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability plays a central role in Tura’s development, focusing on:
- Indigenous landscapes
- Climatic comfort and walkability
- Active lifestyle design
- Over 5 km of running tracks
- Multiple sports and recreational facilities
A Connected Community
The masterplan includes interlinked neighborhoods organized along green corridors and vibrant public spaces, promoting liveability, wellness, and social interaction. A central park and dynamic retail boulevard form the heart of the development, supported by hospitality landmarks and community amenities.
Tura is envisioned not only as a new destination but also as a catalyst for the expansion of North Riyadh, shaping the future of urban living in Saudi Arabia.
