Beirut (APD) - The Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) stated that Emaar Properties, the UK-based real estate adviser DTZ Corporate Finance and Jeddah-based Siraj Capital will establish a $500 million hotel and resort company in King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh, north of Jeddah, the London-based Asharq al Awsat daily reported Thursday.

Emaar Properties and another Emirati company will own a 50% stake in the new firm; Aseer Company will have 10%, Savola will hold 5%, Binladen Group will have 5% and the remaining 30% will be offered to Saudi citizens in a public offering.

The economic city is expected to provide around 500,000 job opportunities upon completion of the project. [NI-FC]
