Versatile International to provide stone consultancy services across Saudi Arabia's Qiddiya
Versatile
International has begun providing end-to-end stone project management
consultancy services for Qiddiya City, the major entertainment and tourism
destination being developed in Saudi Arabia’s Tuwaiq Mountains.
The consultancy, described by the company as the Middle
East region’s first fully integrated stone project management consultancy, was
appointed by Qiddiya Investment Company, a unit of Saudi Arabia’s Public
Investment Fund (PIF).
Qiddiya City is being developed across approximately 360
square kilometers and is designed around the concept of the “Power of Play.”
The destination will feature a broad mix of entertainment, sports, hospitality,
residential and retail developments.
Among its flagship attractions will be Six Flags Qiddiya
City, which will include the record-breaking Falcons Flight roller coaster;
Aquarabia, Saudi Arabia’s first dedicated water park; the world’s first Dragon
Ball Theme Park; and a dedicated Gaming & Esports District.
The development is expected to accommodate around
500,000 residents and attract more than 40 million visitors annually once
completed.

Major projects within Qiddiya City also include the
Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium, which is being designed to host major
international sporting events including matches during the 2034 FIFA World Cup,
as well as a Performing Arts Centre and the Mercedes-AMG World of Performance.
Specialist stone consultancy
Versatile International will provide specialist stone
consultancy services across the large-scale development, supporting procurement
and project management requirements associated with the extensive use of
natural stone.
The company is part of Australian real estate
development and construction firm Versatile Group. It established its regional
operations six years ago, with offices in Dubai and Riyadh, focusing on
supply-chain certainty, risk mitigation and procurement expertise for natural
stone used in major destination developments.
The appointment further strengthens Versatile
International’s presence in Saudi Arabia as the Kingdom accelerates
construction of large-scale tourism, entertainment and urban development
projects.
Located approximately 40 minutes from Riyadh, Qiddiya
City is emerging as one of the Kingdom’s most prominent giga-projects and a
central component of its strategy to expand the entertainment, tourism and
leisure sectors.
