(MENAFN) Saudi Arabia’s second largest developer by market value Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development Co. is considering paying off USD1.3 billion of debt this year, helped by land sales rise, Bloomberg reported.
CFO Andy Raheja said Dar Al Arkan, which holds about 35 million square meters of land mainly in Riyadh and Jeddah, hopes to continue making about USD213.3 million every quarter from land sales.
Rajeha reiterated that the company won’t acquire any more lands, won’t launch any new mega projects and won’t pay dividends until enough money is put aside to cover the upcoming debt payments.
