What is the Tawazoun Real Estate Platform—and how does it help Riyadh land seekers?
The Tawazoun Real Estate Platform is the official digital channel to receive citizen applications to purchase planned residential plots inside existing Riyadh neighborhoods. It aims to balance housing supply and improve urban planning by setting a price cap of up to SAR 1,500 per square meter. The program targets 10,000–40,000 plots per year over five years. Applications are verified, then shortlisted via a transparent electronic draw for purchase completion—giving serious buyers of Riyadh land a structured, fairly priced path to ownership.
