(MENAFN) Saudi Arabia plans to open a retail building that continues quickly even as oil, the kingdom’s main source of income falls.

Moreover, Riyadh is predicted to add 565,000 square meters of gross leasable area in 2017, while the seaside city of Jeddah is ready to complete 383,000 square meters.
