Premium Tenants Shortlist From Afar
Families still abroad, companies, embassies and C-level executives often shortlist homes before they can visit. Few of them have time for a round of viewings, so the homes they can see first have the edge.

Why Luxury Leasing Stalls at the Gate
For a holding company, a luxury home only earns once it is leased. In the Diplomatic Quarter, getting a prospect as far as the first viewing takes real effort.
02
Security and Traffic Slow Every Viewing
In the Diplomatic Quarter, security checks and a gated entrance protect residents' privacy. Together with busy roads, they also turn every viewing into a trip to plan, and a prospect who is still deciding may not make it.
03
An Empty Home Is an Idle Asset
Every week a luxury home sits unleased is income the portfolio does not earn. Photos rarely show enough of a home's space and finishes to win over a tenant who cannot visit.
Luxury Compound Virtual Tour in Riyadh: What Manzili Delivered
In October 2025 Manzili captured four Matterport 3D tours at District 34: a villa, two apartments and the community's shared amenities. CORE Life's leasing team now uses them to show the community to prospects who cannot easily visit.
01
A Luxury Villa Virtual Tour, Plus Two Apartments
Prospects can walk through a District 34 villa and two of its apartments room by room, on any phone or computer. They see the finishes, how the rooms connect and how much space each home offers before anyone arranges a visit.
- One villa, toured room by room
- Two apartments, each toured in full
- Opens in a web browser, with no app to install
02
An Amenities Tour of the Luxury Community
In a luxury community, the shared spaces are part of what tenants lease. District 34 offers a pool, a kids' pool, a cinema, day care, a gaming hall and a business center. Its amenities tour lets prospects see the shared spaces, including the pool, before they visit.
- The pool and shared spaces in 3D
- Family amenities: kids' pool, day care, cinema and gaming hall
- A business center for residents
03

Luxury Compound Virtual Tours: Questions From Holding Companies
How do holding companies use virtual tours to lease portfolio assets?
Leasing teams use 3D tours to show homes to tenants who cannot easily visit, such as families abroad, companies, embassies and executives. One representative home of each type is scanned, and its link works in WhatsApp, email or a meeting, so every asset in the portfolio is presented to the same standard. CORE Life's leasing team uses District 34's tours this way.
Can a virtual tour help lease homes in a gated, high-security area like the Diplomatic Quarter?
Yes. In the Diplomatic Quarter, security checks, traffic and gated entrances make every viewing a trip to plan. A 3D tour gives prospects a first look inside from wherever they are, so the trip is kept for homes they are already serious about.
What does a luxury compound virtual tour include?
Each tour is a Matterport 3D model that opens in any web browser, with a walk-through view, a dollhouse view and a floor plan view. Manzili includes 3 years of online hosting and embed code for your own website, and exterior views can be captured on the same visit.
How quickly can our leasing team start using the tours?
For ready-built homes in Riyadh, first drafts are usually delivered within 24 hours of the scan, as they were at District 34. For assets elsewhere in your portfolio, Manzili also works in Jeddah, Khobar, Dammam, Makkah and Madinah.
Can we share the tours privately with embassies, companies and executives?
Yes. Each tour opens from a link, so your leasing team decides who receives it, by WhatsApp, by email or in a meeting, and recipients need no app. Tours can also be kept unlisted, so only people with the link can open them.
Can one scan serve leasing, marketing and asset management?
Yes. The scan behind a leasing tour can also produce floor plans and a point cloud on request, which are useful for asset records, renovation planning and facility management. Tell us during scoping what each asset needs.
