• These formats have replaced traditional line
  stores and community shopping centers. High
  disposable income and government initiatives to
  diversify the economy and encourage foreign
  investment and ownership have led cities such as
  Riyadh and Jeddah to become the centre of
  attraction for international luxury brands.
• The retail sector in Riyadh has witnessed robust
  performance during the review period despite the
  steady increase in gross leasing area. The
  primary reason for this trend is because shopping
  is considered to be one of the few available
  recreational activities in the city, indicating
  that the market can support a higher GLA per
  capita in the coming years.

  1.2 million square meters during 2012 to 1.5
  million square meters of gross leasing area
  during 2016, registering a CAGR of 5.7 during
