There can be few busier people in Saudi construction right now than Jerry Inzerillo, group CEO of Diriyah Company, the developer behind the $63.2bn Diriyah gigaproject.
A charismatic New Yorker with the distinctive accent to match, he has been the most visible persona behind what is arguably one of the most impressive and advanced projects of the kingdom’s $1tn capital expenditure drive.
Centred around the At-Turaif Unesco World Heritage Site on the western outskirts of Riyadh, Diriyah has opened its first assets to the public, most notably the retail-focused Bujairi Terrace and its first hotel, the Luxury Collection Bab Samhan Hotel.
These are already proving popular; even on a weekday lunchtime, the former was packed with Saudis enjoying a meal or simply walking between the rows of upscale boutiques enveloped in Diriyah’s characteristic Najdi architectural style.
At night, Bujairi Terrace is so busy that advanced tickets are required just to enter the precinct to avoid overcrowding.

Opened in December 2022, Diriyah's Bujairi Terrace offers an array of restaurants and cafes
Asset manager role
Managing this is a new challenge for Diriyah Company as it transitions from a developer primarily focused on infrastructure delivery to one that is now also operating as an asset manager for its completed elements.
“Think about it: right now in the day, we have 40,000 construction workers on site, but last night, we had 13,000 people visiting At-Turaif,” Inzerillo said in early January.
“We’re trading; we’re open; we’re earning revenues from Bab Samhan, the first of 40 hotels to open. It’s already trading very, very well – it’s going to be a very popular hotel.
“I’ve been here 6.5 years now and I’m more optimistic than I’ve ever been.”
Visitors are not just there to shop and eat. Diriyah’s protocol department now has more than 20 staff to handle between nine and 15 protocol moments a day.
“Heads of state, cabinet members and prominent CEOs come every day to see His Royal Highness [Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman]. They view the masterplans, see it being built and then have a meal before going to the Unesco site,” says Inzerillo.
I’m seeing robust interest and activity now, not just kicking the tyres as we say in New York. I’m seeing people really coming up to us now. We have dozens of deals right now. We’re very far down the road in terms of equity
Jerry Inzerillo, group CEO of Diriyah Company
Concrete proof of delivery
The Diriyah CEO spoke with MEED at the opening of two new $200m substations built by Saudi Electricity Company to serve the gigaproject specifically. His presence at the event was a reminder of how keen Diriyah Company is to tell the world – and potential investors – about the development’s progress.
It is no secret that the gigaprojects programme has failed to attract the amount of local or foreign sector investment that it may have initially expected. Opinions vary, but it is fair to say a lack of clarity on project scopes, timeframes and visions, combined with the Covid pandemic and missteps in the initial communication strategy on what the gigaprojects stood for, have all been stumbling blocks in drawing in private investment.
However, this is changing as the gigaprojects themselves start to be delivered and more concrete proof of their demand potential is made clear.
Not that Inzerillo has any doubts about their ultimate investment potential and successful delivery. When asked about these issues, his response was clear: “Look I think there are two factors [behind these issues] and I don’t see them as unhealthy. In fact, it’s the opposite – I see them as healthy,” he asserts.
“Our [Saudi Arabia’s] intention was to take tourism from 3% of GDP to 10% by 2030, while our target was to attract 100 million visits by the same date. We achieved this by December 2023. We’ve already broken 5% of GDP and we feel very confident that we’ll make the 10% objective.
“We’re now putting the infrastructure in the new 58 million square-metre King Salman International airport and other transport infrastructure around the country. All the gigaprojects are opening hotels; for example, look at the great work being done along the Red Sea coast; the great work being done now on Qiddiya.
“So, I think what happened was a lot of people said, ‘Ok, we believe in Saudi Arabia. We certainly believe in its vision. But you know what? We’re going to wait a year or two till we see evidence that the projects are progressing as projected. We intend to be in the kingdom a long time, so let’s wait a year or two before committing.’”

Optimistic outlook
Inzerillo highlights Covid’s impact on the investment environment, adding that it delayed investment plans by two years, but appetite has now caught up.
“I’m seeing robust interest and activity now, not just kicking the tyres as we say in New York,” he states. “I’m seeing people really coming up to us now. We have dozens of deals right now. We’re very far down the road in terms of equity.
“I’m feeling very, very optimistic. I mean, you would think the CEO would naturally be optimistic, but I’m seeing a lot of evidence now.”
This bullishness is underpinned by three huge contracts awarded last year, totalling more than $5.6bn to build the North Cultural and Qurain Avenue districts, forming core components of the Diriyah Gate (DG) 1 phase of the gigaproject, as well as hotel and leisure assets on its residential and hospitality-focused Wadi Safar district.
The pace of activity is continuing into 2025 with a number of major contracts under tender or bid evaluation on the DG2 second phase, including three interchanges on King Khalid Road, the King Salman Grand Mosque, Royal Diriyah Opera House, infrastructure development works, the Northern Community and Diriyah Arena assets.
Just as significant was the award in early January of a $114m contract covering architectural construction and design services for DG2’s Boulevard District. One of the centrepieces of this second phase, the boulevard will be almost two kilometres long and will be lined on both sides by luxury boutiques and restaurants. Construction work on the boulevard should start in 2026.

On time, on budget
Maintaining this pace of procurement is important given some of the – often negative – headlines following the ‘pause’ in gigaproject spending in the first half of 2024 as the government and the gigaproject companies’ owner, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), assessed their priorities and expenditure allocations in the face of soaring costs and timelines that threatened to be missed.
While much of this attention has been on Neom, particularly its The Line component, other gigaprojects such as The Red Sea, Roshn and Qiddiya threaten to be put into the same basket, an argument Inzerillo is keen to set straight.
“Now, one has to deal with real economic facts, and that is that post-Covid, you had major supply chain issues, which caused this hyperinflation. We’ve taken that into consideration and made adjustments. We’re on time, we’re on budget,” he stresses.
“We’ve been very fortunate because of our track record. We have a rockstar team. None of our funding has been even touched in the slightest by the PIF.”
Diriyah has had success in mitigating soaring materials and contracting costs primarily by bundling different works packages into the three ‘mega’ contracts awarded in 2024 as a means of consolidating work to just a handful of contractors.
At the same time, it secured long-term supply agreements from local manufacturers for key materials such as windows, doors and concrete. Scope revisions, such as the incorporation of the originally planned DG3 residential district into the DG1 element, have also contributed to putting a lid on cost pressures.
“We always said we had five gigaprojects,” explains Inzerillo. “We had the DG1 historical district. We had DG2, which is 500 tech companies, 100 media companies and 50 entertainment companies. And then there was talk about DG3. When we revisited DG3, it really was just an extension of DG1. So now what we’ve done is [merged] what was called DG3 into DG1. In other words, we merged two phases into one family, but the investment remains the same.”
Reprioritisation of resources
As for last year’s re-evaluation of the gigaprojects’ priorities and delays to the programme overall, Inzerillo attributes these to unforeseen events.
“Now, here’s the other point about the reprioritisation,” he says, referring to last year’s slowdown in gigaproject activity. “Three years ago, no one had any definitive evidence that Saudi Arabia would win the 2027 Asian football games. Three years ago, no one knew that we would be able to win the Winter Asian Games. Three years ago, no one knew we would win the 2030 World Expo in Riyadh. And three years ago, no one predicted the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would win the 2034 World Cup.
“So, what would need to happen to do those four global events? The answer is, of course, it requires a reprioritisation of resources because now there’s a giant emphasis on delivering these events, especially in Riyadh …. It’s a natural recalibration to host these global events to diversify the economy and certainly hyper stimulate tourism.”

The PIF is expected to provide another SR12bn this year for further development at the gigaproject
Investor interest
Inzerillo, who started his varied, five-decade career in the kitchens of a Brooklyn catering company and then onto senior hotel management positions in the US and South Africa before heading up both IMG Artists and the Forbes Travel Guide, is equally forthright about Diriyah’s investment potential and the success it has had to date, even if much of it has yet to be formally announced.
“We have a very big interest from investors now,” he says. “I’m seeing my investment division getting really busy, which is very encouraging. I think that when we get to this time next year, we’re going to see a big repetition of what I call replacement equity.
“On some of the commercial assets right now, we’re getting great interest from foreign equity. We’ve had several cases now where foreign partners, such as Saudi, GCC and international partners, have seen the project out of the ground. They can really see it right in front of them.
“We have a major development with a retail developer from Italy and one from Colombia on buying hotels and going into residential sales with us as joint-venture partners. Funding has been front-loaded from the PIF, which is why it’s important to be a gigaproject within the PIF family. What’s also important is that it allows us to keep up the pace and, more importantly, maintain our quality.”
To date, the PIF has funded all of the infrastructure works on the gigaproject and is expected to provide another SR12bn this year for further development.
But at some point, Diriyah Company and the other PIF project subsidiaries are expected to obtain financing, particularly once they start earning revenues. Neom and Red Sea Global have already successfully raised funds through a combination of bond issuances and corporate loan agreements, and Diriyah itself is likely to go down the same route.
Likewise, it is expected to eventually go public when the time is right.
“When will that happen,” says Inzerillo. “That will obviously depend on PIF’s input, which is very important, but we’ve already started the process of getting ready for an initial public offering at some point. I’d be very happy to see that happen before 2030 as I think it would be a great accomplishment. And I’m optimistic to that effect.”
With its first assets up and running and a record value of contracts awarded in 2024, Diriyah is developing at a rapid pace and its CEO is clearly confident it will have most of its core components ready by the launch of the World Expo 2030.
Much still needs to be done, however. Line 2 of the Riyadh metro will be extended into the development, where it will interchange with the planned Line 7, linking the new King Salman International airport with Qiddiya via Diriyah. The Q Express, a planned express train linking the airport with the entertainment gigaproject, will also stop at Diriyah. All three projects will be handled by other clients and, therefore, somewhat out of Diriyah Company’s direct control.
Likewise, it remains unclear what the full impact of Expo 2030 and the 2034 World Cup will be on the project ecosystem in the capital. Combined with the giant New Murabba development and ongoing works on the King Salman Park and Sports Boulevard megaprojects, the market is not likely to settle any time soon.
And despite all the positive talk, there are still very few concrete announced investments in the gigaprojects. Yet, with its first areas already opened and other key elements well under way, Diriyah is arguably better placed than most to capitalise on this unprecedented investment opportunity.

Qatar’s new $8bn investment spices up global LNG race13 March 2026

In the midst of the conflict between Iran and the US and Israel, which has spilled over into the GCC region, QatarEnergy has temporarily halted production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the country and declared force majeure on LNG shipments after its energy assets came under attack.
When the fog of war clears, however, and the Strait of Hormuz reopens to oil and gas flows, the global economy will look to QatarEnergy to swiftly restore regular LNG cargoes in order to bring gas prices down from record highs.
Beyond that short-term role, the recent $8bn investment the Qatari giant has committed to building two new LNG processing trains will also cement its position as a reliable long-term supplier, while further intensifying the race among global LNG producers to carve out larger market shares in an increasingly gas-hungry world.
North Field West – a game changer
The state-owned company has progressed from the front-end engineering and design (feed) phase to the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) stage of its North Field West LNG project at pace.
It awarded the main EPC contract for the scheme – covering two LNG processing trains with a total capacity of 16 million tonnes a year (t/y) – to a joint venture comprising France’s Technip Energies, Greece/Lebanon-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) and Gulf Asia Contracting on 25 February.
The contract, estimated to be worth $8bn, was awarded just a month after Japan-based Chiyoda Corporation won the project’s feed contract.
Such a short interval between the feed and EPC phases for a project as large as North Field West LNG would typically be considered improbable. Industry sources suggest QatarEnergy may have been in discussions with Chiyoda and the Technip Energies-CCC consortium for at least a year regarding the feed and EPC contracts, respectively – particularly given the two-year gap between the project’s announcement in February 2024 and the start of the EPC phase.
Chiyoda, Technip Energies and CCC are also involved in the first two phases of QatarEnergy’s $40bn North Field LNG expansion project. A consortium of Chiyoda and Technip Energies is executing EPC works on the North Field East project, which involves the construction of four LNG trains with a combined capacity of 32 million t/y, following the award of a $13bn contract in February 2021. Meanwhile, a Technip Energies-CCC consortium is carrying out EPC works on two 7.8 million t/y LNG trains as part of the North Field South project, having secured a $10bn contract in May 2023.
More significant, however, is the speed with which QatarEnergy is advancing its strategic objective of reaching a total LNG production capacity of 142 million t/y by the end of the decade, from 77.5 million t/y at present.
With all three phases of the North Field LNG expansion programme now under EPC execution – and North Field East scheduled for commissioning later this year – QatarEnergy appears firmly on track to become one of the world’s largest LNG suppliers over the long term, reinforcing Qatar’s economic future in the process.
US domination
While QatarEnergy is on course to increase its LNG production capacity by 83% by 2030 through the overall North Field LNG expansion programme, it is still some way behind the US, which is set to account for over half of the total global LNG liquefaction projects by 2030.
There are 40 new-build and expansion LNG liquefaction projects planned or under way in the US, according to UK analytics firm GlobalData. Among these, two projects stand out.
The first is the Rio Grande LNG production project, being developed by NextDecade in Texas, on the US Gulf of Mexico coast. Up to 10 processing trains are planned for the complex, the first three of which are in the EPC phase.
NextDecade achieved the final investment decision on the fourth and fifth trains at the facility, estimated to cost $6.7bn each, in September and October last year. The company has awarded EPC contracts to build all five trains at the Rio Grande facility to US-based Bechtel.
On the investments front, the overseas-focused energy investment vehicle of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), XRG, acquired an indirect 11.7% stake in the first phase of the project from Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), part of US asset manager BlackRock, in September last year. In February 2026, XRG entered into another transaction with GIP to raise its overall participation in the Rio Grande LNG project by acquiring additional 7.6% equity interests in trains four and five of the scheme.
Additionally, as part of that transaction, another Adnoc Group subsidiary, Adnoc Trading, entered into a 20-year offtake agreement with NextDecade last year to purchase 1.9 million t/y of LNG from Rio Grande train four, on a free-on-board basis at a Henry Hub-indexed price. France’s TotalEnergies and Saudi Aramco are the other LNG offtakers for train four.
Separately, the Commonwealth LNG facility in the US state of Louisiana has also received backing from Abu Dhabi. Expected to start operations in 2030, the facility is designed to produce up to 9.5 million metric t/y of LNG.
Commonwealth LNG is a project of US-based alternative asset manager Kimmeridge Energy Management Company and Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Company through their joint venture Caturus.
Caturus was formed in August 2025 when Kimmeridge announced a rebranding that saw Commonwealth LNG and Kimmeridge’s upstream operations combined under a new integrated platform. At the same time, Mubadala acquired a 24.1% equity stake in Caturus, providing financial backing for the new entity to proceed with the Commonwealth LNG project.
Also in August, Caturus awarded Technip Energies the contract for EPC works on the Commonwealth LNG project. The French contractor had previously performed the project’s feed work.
Moreover, Aramco subsidiary Aramco Trading signed a 20-year agreement to buy 1 million metric t/y of LNG from the Commonwealth LNG facility in February, increasing offtake deals secured by Caturus to cover 8 million metric t/y of the project’s total planned output capacity.
Positive outlook
The growth in LNG production capacity in the US, as well as in wider North America, is driven by several factors, including abundant natural gas reserves, the shale gas revolution and advancements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.
While it might be a challenge for QatarEnergy to compete with US players in combined liquefaction capacity, its strength and success will lie in clinching long-term offtake deals with customers in Asia, where the bulk of global LNG demand growth is expected.

Bahrain opens bids for first solar IPP project13 March 2026
Two companies have made offers for a contract to develop Bahrain’s first solar photovoltaic (PV) independent power project (IPP).
Bahrain’s Electricity & Water Authority (EWA) opened bids for the Bilaj Al-Jazayer solar IPP project on 12 March.
The bidders include Saudi Arabia’s Acwa, formerly Acwa Power, and UAE-headquartered Yellow Door Energy.
The 150 MWac Bilaj Al-Jazayer solar IPP project will be Bahrain’s first grid-connected solar PV power plant developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) framework on a build-own-operate basis. It will be delivered as a long-term concession and is intended to come online by 2027.
The proposed site covers more than 1 square kilometre, with the private sector responsible for end-to-end development, including financing, design, construction and operation.
Last August, EWA held a market consultation event during which it outlined plans for the country’s first solar PV IPP. The main contract was then tendered in October.
EWA said Yellow Door Energy’s proposal was “accepted with conditions”, but did not disclose further details.
The local KPMG Fakhro is the financial consultant, the US’ WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff is the technical consultant, and the UK’s Trowers & Hamlins is the legal consultant.
Bahrain’s clean energy targets, as set by its national plans, include 20% renewables by 2035, and net-zero emissions by 2060.

DP World sees Red Sea port volumes rising as Hormuz shuts13 March 2026
Register for MEED’s 14-day trial access
Dubai-based ports operator DP World is preparing for higher throughput at its Red Sea terminals as the Iran conflict approaches its second week, CEO Yuvraj Narayan said on Thursday.
With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed and tanker attacks escalating, shipping movements into Gulf ports have fallen.
The disruption began after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, rattling energy and freight markets and cutting access through what is widely seen as the world’s most critical oil corridor.
Since most major Gulf ports rely on the narrow Strait of Hormuz, the shutdown is weighing on regional trade flows.
Narayan said Jebel Ali, DP World’s main hub in Dubai, has not suffered any infrastructure damage and is operating normally, but inbound vessel arrivals are down. Some cargo is still moving through terminals on the eastern side of the strait, he added.
Ports in the UAE that sit outside Hormuz have limited headroom to absorb the shortfall. Khorfakkan can handle about 5 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) and Fujairah under 1 million TEUs, which Narayan indicated would not be enough to offset lost volume from Jebel Ali or Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Port.
Jebel Ali alone processed 15.6 million TEUs last year, out of DP World’s 56.1 million TEUs globally.
DP World is rolling out rerouting options and other operational measures to keep supply chains moving. Narayan said the company’s Red Sea assets, such as Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Sokhna in Egypt, are likely to see increased traffic, though he did not quantify the additional volumes or specify cargo types.
He cautioned that logistical and security risks remain elevated.
Earlier this week, DP World announced record financial results for 2025, with revenue up 22% to $24.4bn and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) up 18% to $6.4bn, delivering a 26.3% margin, as MEED reported.
DP World said that this performance was driven by strong momentum across its ports and terminals and logistics business.
The group’s gross throughput rose 5.8% to 93.4 million TEUs.
Profit for the year increased 32.2% to $1.96bn, and operating cash flow grew 14% to $6.3bn.
Return on capital employed increased to 9.9% in 2025, up from 8.9% in 2024, reflecting stronger earnings despite ongoing geopolitical and trade uncertainty.

Frontrunner emerges for Saudi sewage treatment project13 March 2026

A consortium led by China’s Jiangsu United Water Technology has emerged as the frontrunner for a contract to build and upgrade two sewage treatment plants in Saudi Arabia, according to sources.
The contract covers the North Western A Cluster Sewage Treatment Plants Package 11 (LTOM11), part of the next phase of National Water Company’s (NWC) long-term operations and maintenance (LTOM) sewage treatment programme.
The consortium comprising United Water, Prosus Energy (UAE) and Armada Holding (Saudi Arabia) offered “the lowest tariff” for the project, sources told MEED.
It is understood that Turkey’s Kuzu has made the next-lowest bid.
The development, estimated to cost about $211m, will have a combined capacity of about 440,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d).
In February, MEED exclusively reported that six bidders were competing for the contract.
The other companies that have submitted proposals include:
- Alkhorayef Water & Power Technologies (Saudi Arabia)
- Civil Works Company (Saudi Arabia)
- VA Tech Wabag (India)
- Aguas de Valencia (Spain)
LTOM11, also known as the North Western A Cluster, forms part of the second phase of NWC’s rehabilitation of sewage treatment plants programme.
The scheme is being procured on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis with a long-term operations component.
The main contract was tendered last year, with an award initially expected by the end of 2025.
It is now understood that NWC is preparing to offer the main contract in the second quarter.
As previously reported, Saudi Arabia’s NWC is also evaluating five bids for package 12 of its long-term operations and maintenance (LTOM12) sewage treatment programme.
Known as the North Western B Cluster, LTOM12 forms part of the second phase of NWC’s rehabilitation of sewage treatment plants programme.
In January, the same United Water-led consortium won the main contract for the Northern Cluster Sewage Treatment Plants Package 10 (LTOM10).
That project includes the rehabilitation and operation of nine sewage treatment plants located across the Hail, Qassim, Al-Jouf and Northern Borders provinces
NWC is also preparing to tender a contract for the construction of 10 sewage treatment plants as part of package 14 of the programme.
The final details of the Eastern A Cluster (LTOM14) package are being finalised, with a tender likely to be issued in March or April, sources told MEED.

Medina tenders Sikkah Al-Hadid PPP project13 March 2026
Saudi entities including Al-Madinah Regional Municipality, in collaboration with the Ministry of Municipalities & Housing and the National Centre for Privatisation & PPP (NCP), have floated a request for proposal (RFP) notice for the development of the Sikkah Al-Hadid project.
The project will be procured through build-own-operate-transfer contracts with a 50-year duration, using a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
The deadline for bid submission is 23 June.
The project will be located to the west of Medina on an 84,657-square-metre (sq m) site.
It includes a four-storey medical centre with a capacity of up to 200 beds and a shopping mall offering retail, food and beverage, and other entertainment facilities.
In January last year, NCP asked firms to express their interest and prequalify for a contract to develop two mixed-use developments in Medina, which included the Sikkah Al-Hadid project and the Dhul Hulaifah project.
The Dhul Hulaifah project will be built on a 30,112 sq m site located six kilometres from the Prophet’s Mosque.
The development will consist of a four-star hotel integrated with retail and healthcare facilities.
MEED previously reported that Saudi Arabia had announced a P&PPP pipeline comprising 200 projects across 16 sectors.
This pipeline aims to attract local and international investors and ensure their readiness to participate in the schemes tendered to the market.
The initiative comes as the kingdom strives to increase the attractiveness of its economy and raise the private sector’s contribution to GDP.
