_The opportunity schools offer

Location or proximity to high-quality educational institutions is an important consideration for developers. As highlighted earlier, onsite amenities and facilities can be a significant differentiator for the Kingdom’s developers, but so can high-quality schools. This has been demonstrated in regional markets such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where world-class schools often anchor residential communities and are a substantial driver of demand.

Indeed, our research shows that a 2,000-desk school can generate up to 1,200 visits a day by parents, creating significant traffic that could be capitalized on to feed any adjacent retail developments or F&B outlets.
