The Oasis

Mixed-use development, a new humanized space in Buraydah, Saudi

The Oasis Development is envisioned as a transformative destination that will redefine Buraydah’s urban identity, bringing together tourism, culture, business, and vibrant public life within a landmark mixed-use district. Designed around walkability, connectivity, and a dynamic multi-level public realm, the project creates a seamless urban experience that connects the city center, traditional market, and new destinations through an integrated network of streets, transit, and public spaces.

Sesto San Giovanni grew from an industrial suburb into a diverse, metropolitan city—yet the railway corridor still behaves like a hard edge, splitting neighborhoods and turning “the other side” into a destination rather than part of daily life. The project starts with a simple urban truth: when movement is interrupted, civic life thins out. THE BRIDGE addresses the Oasis Development, which is envisioned as a regional tourist destination that will further Qasim’s reputation as one of the most desirable and exciting cities in KSA.  Poised as a landmark game-changing project, the Oasis Development District will re-imagine how Buraydah grows in the future, providing a truly urban mixed-use, transit-oriented development, enhanced by an animated, walk-able public realm.   At a total build-out of over half a million square meters, Oasis Development will be comprised of five key uses: office, residential, hotel, retail, and entertainment.
