Roshn (stylized ROSHN; Arabic: روشن) is a real estate development company based in Saudi Arabia. The company was founded in August 2020 by the Saudi Public Investment Fund as one of its Megaprojects. As one of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals, Roshn aims to enable home ownership to 70% of Saudi nationals.[3]

History

[edit]

Roshn was officially launched by the Saudi Public Investment Fund on 19 August 2020 as one of its 5 megaprojects, which are: Neom, Red Sea Project, Qiddiya, and Diriyah Company.[4]

On 24 August 2022, Roshn secured naming rights to the Saudi Pro League in a five-year deal worth $127 million.[5]

Following Karim Benzema's signing with Ittihad football club in June 2023, Roshn signed a three-year deal with the club to become its platinum sponsor.[6] [7]

In September 2023, Roshn signed a 45-month deal worth $2.06 billion with China Harbour Engineering Company to develop Riyadh's Sedra and Warefa communities.[8]
