Over more than a decade of activity in the Saudi market, Yapı Merkezi has contributed to several key national projects, including the Haramain High-Speed Railway stations in Madinah and Jeddah, the CTW130 railway project in Jubail, and the Na'iriyah Workshop project. The company is also currently executing three major contracts for the maintenance and rehabilitation of railway lines operated by Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) across different regions of the Kingdom. The new headquarters will house specialized teams in project management, engineering, business development, and corporate support, enabling Yapı Merkezi to provide comprehensive services while staying closer to its clients. The company remains committed to advancing localization initiatives, knowledge transfer, and collaboration with Saudi companies and institutions to support the Kingdom's sustainable development goals.
