Construction and property conglomerate the Bin Laden Group has appointed Cluttons’ Bahrain office to market a 10.5m sq ft (975,450 sq m) scheme which it is building in central Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The scheme, known as the King Abdulaziz Endowment Project, overlooks Al-Haram mosque, Islam’s holiest shrine.
Four of the complex’s five towers will comprise flats while the fifth will be a five-star hotel.
Other elements of the scheme include a transport hub, a bus station, a five-storey shopping mall, prayer halls and offices.
