Oman Unveils Yamal and Jood Urban Projects with Significant Financial Backing

Oman Unveils Yamal and Jood Urban Projects with Significant Financial Backing

Post by : Maya Rahman

In a significant ceremony led by His Highness Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham Al Said, Oman has officially launched two ambitious urban initiatives, the Yamal and Jood projects. Developed by Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG), these projects involve an impressive investment of RO 1.7 billion, taking place in Sultan Haitham City and the scenic Al Manuma coastline. The event drew attendance from esteemed officials and leaders across various sectors.

These initiatives are closely aligned with Oman Vision 2040, emphasizing economic diversification, the empowerment of the private sector, and the enhancement of investment avenues. They are a testament to Oman’s dedication to forging modern urban environments that elevate the quality of life and encourage sustainable growth.

The Jood project spans 2.7 million square meters, designed as a smart, environmentally friendly community. It will comprise over 7,000 residential units along with educational facilities, healthcare centers, shopping districts, parks, and sporting venues. The initial phase consists of 600 units that are now ready for purchase. Named 'Jood', which translates to generosity in Arabic, the project embodies Omani cultural values and seeks to harmonize modern living with nature.

Covering 2.2 million square meters, the Yamal project features a stunning 1,760-meter waterfront along the Sea of Oman. It will include a marina, upscale hotels, marine activities, and over 6,000 housing and hospitality options. The initial phase presents 700 units. Yamal reflects Oman’s rich maritime traditions and aspires to cultivate a contemporary coastal lifestyle embracing exploration and openness.

These developments are fully supportive of the National Urban Strategy, which is pivotal for Oman’s city planning. They signify the strengthening investment landscape in Oman, marked by the entrance of top global developers who exhibit considerable confidence in the local market, driven by a stable regulatory framework and clear developmental guidelines.

Oman is also witnessing robust growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) and is committed to enhancing the business climate. Accelerated company registration, simplified procedures, and a transparent legal environment have fueled investor enthusiasm. The real estate sector shows positive trends with climbing transaction values and heightened investor optimism.

These groundbreaking projects are set to form modern communities, invigorate economic progress, and open doors for upcoming generations. They mark a crucial milestone in Oman's enduring quest for sustainable development and competitiveness on a global scale.
