Under the patronage of Minister of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing and Chairman of the Real Estate General Authority, Majid bin Abdullah Al-Hogail, the fourth edition of the Real Estate Future Forum 2025 opened today in the capital, Riyadh, under the theme "A Future for Humanity: From Dreams to Reality." More than 120 countries and 500 speakers are taking part, representing government and private sectors, alongside prominent local and international figures.

He added that the forum reflects the Kingdom's ambitious vision for strengthening the real estate sector as one of the key pillars in achieving Vision 2030. It serves as a global platform for showcasing opportunities to develop sustainable cities and integrated communities that improve quality of life for residents.
