His Excellency the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Housing for Real Estate Development, Mr. Muhammad bin Saud Al-Ghazwani, explained that the Developers Services Center “Etmam” receives many requests for exceptions submitted by real estate developers, and the number of those requests for exceptions under study reached 11 requests, in each of Riyadh, Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Jeddah, Jizan, Dammam, and Qatif with a total area of projects estimated at 3.5 million m2, and with a number of units expected to be exempted exceeding 20 thousand housing units, bringing the total approximate number to 35 thousand housing units.
