Through its investment arm, PT Danantara Investment Management, Danantara completed the acquisition of the Novotel Thakher Makkah, containing 1,461 rooms and suites, in August. The purchase of the additional land was completed on 18 October.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Indonesia is moving beyond securing hotel rooms for pilgrims to developing its own integrated hospitality district in Saudi Arabia.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The development is intended to bring together accommodation, retail and supporting services for Indonesian pilgrims travelling for Hajj and Umrah. Rather than commissioning a standalone hotel, Danantara is establishing an investment platform combining an income-generating property with land for future expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The project is being developed in stages with Saudi partner Al-Khomasiah, following an earlier strategic agreement with Thakher Development Company. These relationships provide a local development structure for a cross-border investment involving national priorities, hospitality operations and real estate development.<\/p>\n<p>On 3 November, Danantara chief executive Rosan Roeslani said architects were expected to present a comprehensive plan in Indonesia before the targeted December groundbreaking. The architectural team has not been publicly identified in the announcements reviewed, and the development remains subject to feasibility studies, regulatory approvals and permitting.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A sovereign investment institution can become an overseas architectural client when national service priorities are translated into property development.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The project has a distinct operational brief. Pilgrim accommodation must respond to concentrated periods of demand, transport connections, visitor services and the organisation of large groups. Its delivery will depend on aligning these requirements with the commercial performance of hospitality and retail assets.<\/p>\n<p>For architectural practices, the project offers a useful example of where international commissions can originate. National investment bodies, specialist user groups and local development partners are increasingly relevant to understanding who initiates major projects. Mecca&#8217;s Hajj Village demonstrates how an existing hospitality acquisition can become the starting point for a much larger development programme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Informations compl\u00e9mentaires<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danantaraindonesia.co.id\/media-center\/press-releases\/danantara-completes-hospitality-acquisition-makkah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danantara Indonesia &#8211; Hospitality acquisition in Mecca<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.antaranews.com\/amp\/news\/439931\/indonesia-to-start-mecca-hajj-village-construction-in-december\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ANTARA &#8211; Hajj Village construction preparations<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/thakher.com.sa\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thakher Development<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global_snapshots\/81007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global_snapshots"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/global_snapshots"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
