About OSUS:

Our journey began in 2006 in the city of Riyadh, driven by an ambitious vision to lead the next generation of commercial, residential, and mixed-use real estate projects. Since then, we have continued to establish our presence as a developer redefining the concept of real estate development through projects rooted in integration, innovation, thoughtful design, and modern technological solutions that elevate the end-user experience, whether individuals or businesses. We believe that mixed-use developments represent the future of urban planning. Guided by this vision, we create projects that merge urban functions into a single space, reshaping daily life in a more efficient and flexible way. We design vibrant destinations where living and working intersect, and where commercial and entertainment facilities harmonize within an integrated environment, fulfilling individual aspirations and supporting the growth of modern communities. At OSUS, we continue to build on this approach, inspired by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and committed to developing real estate solutions that elevate the urban landscape, meet the ambitions of individuals and investors, and align with the evolving nature of cities and future lifestyles.
