The company's President and CEO Abdallah Sallam told Zawya projects that Tajed will span an area of more than 50,000 sqm and comprise retail, office and commercial units.

He said the company has signed up household electronics and appliances retail chain B.TECH for 3,000 sqm while supermarket chain Carrefour will open a new branch alongside other prominent names.
