Residences and offices
Around shaded courtyards.

03Masterplan Evolution
How did the masterplan take shape?
The idea began with access — organizing the way into the site — then turned the entrance toward the sea and tied the waterfront together with one continuous promenade, before distributing the uses across flexible plots, developed in phases.
A measured layout. Five uses distributed along the waterfront, within a 225,000 m² building program.
04Architectural Character
Jazan's architecture, Farasan's nature.
The waterfront
Mashrabiya, reinterpreted.
Perforated screens drawn from Jazan's architecture — casting shade, softening the sun's glare, and framing views toward the sea.
Daily life
A sikka for daily life.
The sikka (a shaded market lane) revives the fabric of Jazan's old quarters, bringing strolling, shopping, and gathering into one space.
05A Tour of the Destination
One shore, three rhythms.
Three experiences that move from the energy of the retail sikka and the marina to the calm of the resort.
From the sea, the marina appears first — then the destination unfolds along the coast.
The first rhythm
The retail sikka
A shaded lane lined with shops and restaurants, crossed by overhead bridges that draw the eye toward the sea.
The second rhythm
The marina and the mall
The mall opens onto the marina quays, where shops, restaurants, and water activities meet at the heart of the destination.
The third rhythm
The coastal resort
A resort drawn from Jazan's villages, its rooms set among gardens and water — in a quieter, more private setting.

06Residences
Homes woven into the destination.
45,000 m² of apartments and Branded Residences, set around shaded courtyards in buildings that step down toward the shore.
Courtyard apartments
Apartments overlooking planted, shaded inner courtyards.
Branded Residences
The privacy of home, with an experience drawn from hospitality.
Penthouses & roof homes
Homes at the top of each building, with larger layouts and open views.
Wider views
A design that opens views toward the sea and the gardens.
07Climate Comfort
Designed for Jazan's summer.
Shaded paths link the destination, punctuated by air-conditioned cooling points inside perforated structures that lower the surrounding temperature by around 5–10°C — making movement more comfortable through the summer months.
08Parking and Access
Parking shaded by hanging gardens.
9,932 m² of covered parking topped with green space, complemented by open parking across the project — more than 3,500 spaces in total, per the initial planning estimate.
The masterplan drawing shows the metal structure: parking below, public gardens above.
Night, the fourth rhythm.
Walkways and facades are lit in a warm glow that runs the length of the shore.
09Investment and Partnership
Partners in developing the destination.
We work with investors, institutions, operators, and commercial tenants to develop and activate the components of Zan Waterfront.
Principal. Governed. Delivered.
