Oussama Kabbani, Group Chief Development Officer at ROSHN Group, is not merely shaping buildings—he’s crafting the future identity of Saudi Arabia’s urban life. With over three decades of global experience, from the historic streets of Beirut to the innovation corridors of Boston and Dubai, Oussama brings a unique blend of architectural refinement and strategic foresight to the Kingdom’s most ambitious developments. Since joining ROSHN in 2022, he has been at the helm of projects that are redefining the concept of community: SEDRA and WAREFA in Riyadh, ALAROUS and MARAFY in Jeddah, ALMANAR in Makkah, and ALDANAH in Dhahran.
These aren’t just developments—they’re statements. From open front yards to fully integrated walkable neighbourhoods, Oussama is steering a cultural shift in how Saudis live, connect, and thrive. Each project is a careful choreography of modern aesthetics and local identity, underpinned by sustainability principles that prioritise energy efficiency, water conservation, and liveability.
In the last year alone, ROSHN has expanded its geographic and conceptual footprint. New launches in Makkah and Dhahran (ALMANAR and ALDANAH) signal a deeper push into holistic community building, while high-profile stadium projects in Riyadh and Dammam underscore its entry into major civic and sports infrastructure. Parallel to this, progress continues on SEDRA, MARAFY, and ALAROUS—each community growing not just in scale, but in ambition.
With a Master’s in Urban Design from Harvard and an eye on shaping entire cities, Oussama is the architect of more than buildings—he is the designer of a new way of life. As ROSHN expands into new verticals and sets new benchmarks for development, his leadership ensures that every blueprint tells a bigger story: one of purpose, culture, and visionary growth.
