Turtle Bay Village Design​

To meet our ambitious benchmarks for better development, we avoided the construction of temporary assets during the development of Turtle Bay Village. Instead, permanent assets were built and repurposed, helping preserve the area’s natural ecosystems.​

The offices, residential apartments, and hotel were built using off-site fabrication and modular construction techniques. This approach enhances quality and safety, reduces the number of construction workers on site, and minimizes environmental impact during fabrication and installation.​

The buildings have been designed to provide natural defenses from erosion, while new habitats have been created through landscaping that enhances the island’s natural state.​

The villas and townhouses have achieved Platinum LEED certification, while Turtle Bay Hotel has become the first Saudi hospitality entity to achieve the prestigious Green Key certification and Mostadam Diamond Certification.​
