    2027: Riyadh's office market enters comparison season

    After years of tight supply, Riyadh's office market is changing. Savills expects more than 570,000 sqm of new Grade A office space from late 2026, including Diriyah Gate, Prime Business Resort and Misk City. JLL recorded a slight rise in Grade A vacancy, to 3.8% in Q2 2026, as newly completed space entered the market, and a further 929,300 sqm of office space is due before year-end.

    As choice widens, tenants will compare buildings again. JLL notes that landlords now compete with fitted space and flexible terms, and on product and tenant experience.

    3D tour cost, excluding VAT

    SAR 48,000

    A showcase tour of 4,000 sqm costs SAR 48,000, excluding VAT. That equals 9.1 hours of this space's rent.

    More than one building, or a large area? The rate per sqm is lower for larger scopes, so contact us directly.

    How this works: rent forgone = unleased GLA × asking rent. Hours are calendar hours, 8,760 a year. Tour prices and rents are compared excluding VAT. Defaults are published market averages for illustration, not a valuation. This calculator does not estimate how long a space takes to lease.

    The tour, priced in hours of empty space

    In the default example, a 4,000 sqm showcase tour costs SAR 48,000. That equals 9.1 hours of rent on 20,000 sqm of empty space at Riyadh's Grade A average of about SAR 2,300 per sqm a year. The full tour equals 1.9 days.

    Tour price and rent are both set per square metre, so at that average a full tour equals about 1.9 days of rent for any Riyadh office building, whatever its size.

    Questions owners ask

    How much does a tour cost?

    Our standard rate is SAR 12 per sqm of scanned area, excluding VAT. It includes the tour link, embed code, 3 years of hosting and the exterior. The rate per sqm is lower for larger areas and multi-building projects, so contact us directly for a quote.

    How fast is it?

    The first draft arrives within 24 hours of the scan for ready-built space in Riyadh. We mobilise quickly to Jeddah, Khobar, Dammam, Makkah and Madinah.

    Does a 3D tour lease space faster?

    We don't promise that, and we hold no time-to-lease data. The calculator shows what each empty hour costs and the tour's price in the same hours, so you can decide.

    How is a Matterport tour different from a 360-degree photo tour?

    The Matterport Pro3 captures the space with LiDAR and builds a 3D model that visitors walk through room by room and floor by floor, with a floor plan. A 360-degree photo tour links still panoramas together.

    Do tenants need an app to view the tour?

    No. The tour opens in a browser from its link or from your website, on phone or computer.

    Do you scan malls and warehouses?

    Yes. We scan offices, retail space and malls, and also warehouses and logistics parks. Ask for a quote for any scope.

    Is the calculator free, and do you keep my numbers?

    It's free, with no sign-up, and none of the numbers you enter are stored unless you ask for the summary or a quote.

    Where do the market figures come from?

    From published reports by Savills, JLL and Knight Frank, with the source and period beside each figure. The defaults are for illustration; replace them with your building's numbers.
