Oxagon, proposed industrial city in Saudi Arabia

Oxagon is an industrial city under construction on the Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia. The city consists of a harbor district, factory areas, and residential neighborhoods that spread along the coast and are supplemented by a floating platform.

The Saudi Crown Prince announced the project in November 2021 as part of Vision 2030. The first industrial licenses were issued in early 2023, and construction work began shortly afterward.

The name Oxagon comes from its octagonal shape, which you can see clearly on maps and site plans. The floating platform in the harbor will later serve as a public space where visitors can experience the sea up close.

The city is located near the Suez Canal in the northwest of Neom. Access to the construction site is currently limited, as many areas are still under construction and only open to authorized visitors.

The city is planned to host the largest floating industrial structure in the world. This platform will serve not only as a workspace but also as a public area that rests directly on the water.

Ambitious architecture projects that will take shape by 2030

Everywhere, in deserts, along coasts, and in city centers, new building projects change how cities grow and work. Some build tall towers that change the view, others create whole neighborhoods from scratch. Each project shows different ways of thinking about design, technology, and how people live together. In Saudi Arabia, The Line offers a city without cars that runs through the desert, Trojena gives mountain skiing, and Sindalah builds a new island in the Red Sea. In Dubai, buildings like One Za’abeel, where two towers connect with a hanging bridge, or Dubai Creek Tower that switches the look along the water. In Paris, the Tour Triangle, a glass pyramid in the south, shows how the city considers height and space. These projects are of different sizes and purposes. There are large factories like Oxagon that work on the water, and places to live or work in Jeddah, Zhuhai, and elsewhere. Some are already being built, with the bases and structure going up, others are waiting for permission or funds. Each project aims to meet local needs, whether for more homes, attracting visitors, or trying new ways to build that care for the environment. Together, they show how architects and city planners think about the links between buildings, roads, and daily life around the world.
