CHANTILLY, Va., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that it has been awarded a contract for Project Management Office (PMO) services by the King Salman Park Foundation for King Salman Park. This 25-month contract marks new work for Parsons. King Salman Park is one of the world’s most unique urban transformation projects, featuring 11.6 sq km of green space and over 10 sq km of built-up area. The Park includes cultural landmarks such as the Royal Arts Complex and a vibrant 7.2 km pedestrian walkway known as The Loop, among many other assets. All these elements are designed to support Saudi Vision 2030’s “Quality of Life” Program.
Parsons’ responsibilities encompass supporting the delivery strategy of the King Salman Park program, as well as overseeing and reporting on the design, procurement, construction, and implementation of smart city initiatives.
“King Salman Park is an exceptional project that seamlessly integrates destination and sustainable urban development. Parsons is honored to contribute to this landmark initiative that is transforming Riyadh’s urban landscape and establishing a legacy,” said Pierre Santoni, President, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons. “Our team will utilize Parsons’ 80 years of global expertise, along with our local experience in designing and managing complex urban projects in the Kingdom, to help deliver this world-class mixed-use development project that will enhance the lives of both residents and visitors.”
“Sustainability is at the heart of King Salman Park’s vision. Located on the former Riyadh Air Base, the Park will transform the area with the planting of 1 million trees and plants. This initiative will significantly enhance the region’s vegetation cover, increase per capita green space, and boost biodiversity, supporting local wildlife. Our plans include strategically placing trees along roadsides and near buildings to absorb CO2, increase humidity, and mitigate the heat island effect,” said George Tanasijevich, Chief Executive Officer, King Salman Park Foundation.
